I'm using the -h option to tar; that's late here.
Meanwhile, configure has detected how to make shared libs in osf -- that =
were=20
not supported till AT!.
But configure fails:

   ...
   checking for python... no
   checking if Python version >=3D 1.5... configure: error: too old

configure should just set python to no instead of dying.

   ./configure --enable-dyndrivers --disable-python
   ...
   checking for python... no
   checking if Python version >=3D 1.5... configure: error: too old

same error!

Bye,
Joao
