An easier way to solve this than trying to link in color.c may be to put the
following in the file $GIS/src/xgrass/libes/Xgi/Help.c near the top, after all
the #include statements:

	#ifndef MAX
	#define MAX(a, b)   ((a)>(b)?(a):(b))
	#endif

This is basically the same operation that is wanted in Help.c and avoids
messing with the Gmakefile. I had the same problem and solved it this way and
things seem to work for me. It's not the most elegant solution but it is simple
and it works. Someone else on the list may have a better suggestion though. Let
me know if there are any problems with this.

Hope this helps.
