Bingo.  That's helpful

  gcc -o conftest -g -O2    conftest.c -lGL  -lpthread   -lSM -lICE -lXi -lXmu -lXext -lX11  -lm >&5



1) It couldn't find libXi.

2) That was easy for me to fix with a symlink to libXi.so.6.0.0

3) I don't see why the test for libGL is dependent on libXi.

4) *IF* the test for libGL is going to be dependent on libXi,
  ./configure should make a separate, prior check for the
  usability of libXi, so it can print a suitable error message.

  Ditto for other dependencies.

The configure, make, and install have now completed, apparently
OK.

Thanks for the help, everybody.
