But it still fails!!!! Does anyone > get any idea?? What does your output from configure say? I presume it doesn't detect the relevant libs? You don't say what sortof architecture you're working on, but if it happens to be Solaris, there's a gotcha: you need 32-bit libraries to compile with a 32-bit compiler, and 64-bit libraries to compile with a 64-bit compiler. I have run into this problem on occasion when I gave the wrong path to --with-libs and friends.
