as in:

   ./configure

I couldn't use downloadable packages (like yours) because
/usr/local is for global admins, so I have to configure for
/u/local.  [Cannot copy the files, either, because they contain
compiled in path names.]  I presume you saw my later patch?
That failed, too, because some library was not findable.
I gave up and am at home now.  Thanks for your suggestion, tho.
