That's why it's best to have ONE custom configure/build system designed once and for all. :) If you're experienced in portability problems, could you please check out the configuration scripts in skalibs (derived from DJB scripts, but more complete) and tell me if there's some obvious sysdep that I have forgotten ? The beast is at http://www.skarnet.org/software/skalibs/ and I use it to avoid EVER having to learn or rely on autoconf. Thanks for your kind help. :) -- Laurent
