Just a comment on this:  what makes me think that the problem is related to
the autotools is the original report by Joao:

The bug has been caused by a call to the function lt_dlsym in ltdl.c, more
precisely when it is called with argument "DEVICE_INFO_pstex".  Of course,
this is related to my last changes in the code.  However, I can hardly see
what I am doing wrong, since I cannot replicate the bug.  I tend to believe
that it is related to version problems in the Autotools.  

That said, I really hope that this is a configuration option problem, which
would be easier to fix...
