Robert,
Thanks for the information. What we'll need to track this down is:
* A build log
* Copies of config.cache, config.h, and config.status from the build
directory
You may mail these to me directly.
You can create a build log by running:
script ~/logfile
./configure
make
exit
and then send me ~/logfile.
