efinder doesn't work

Description

Currently efinder uses an shell utility called glob which may or 
may not be available on your system. Source code for glob is 
inside efinder directory. To fix efinder do the following: 
 
tar xzvf ede-* 
cd ede/efinder 
gcc glob.c globber.c -o glob 
sudo cp glob /usr/bin 
 
The reason why glob compilation is disabled is that there are 
other packages that contain glob binary, namely xfce3, and 
also /usr/bin/glob is a standard part of several UNIX systems, 
see for example 
http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdln_glob.htm 
 
efinder that uses find/grep directly is in the works, actually it 
has mostly been written (a few bugs left to iron out) but our 
decision was to postpone it until EDE 2.0. When that is done 
this bug will be closed.
