1. Running Slackware 13.0 with gcc 4.3.3. Perhaps lack of version due to compiler version was not accounted for.
configure:2261: gcc -V </dev/null >&5
gcc: '-V' option must have argument

2. This too suffers an omission:
configure:2688: gcc -c -g -O2 conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:2: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'me'

3. This does not get gen'd into the configure file
configure:4195:28: error: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory

If info insufficient please advise.

did you run autogen.sh? Are you using the tar file or the cvs? If tar file what version/

[Fredy Paquet]

please update your autoconf distribution, it is VERY old.

Then run 'automake', 'autoconf'and ./configure again.
