I'm sorry for the noise. I tried with the latest version (running
./prepare again) and it works fine. It seems that ./configure script
was old indeed (I don't remember any problems recently, but it is true
that I usually compile with macports in PATH where the file is
present).

Out of curiosity: is there any reason why "configure" script is not
included in CVS? (That might mean running "prepare" on regular
basis/when things change of course, but would be easier for the end
users.)

On the other hand, there are two files,
    config/djconfig.sh
    missing
which are constantly displayed as being present in repository, but
they keep changing when I run ./prepare (maybe also on other
occasions, for example when running configure or make, I'm not sure).

However I checked again and it seems that only executable bit is changed.

In short: I would like to suggest to add "configure" script to
repository and/or at least add executable bit to the two files
mentioned above.

Thank you very much,
