Ok, so I'll try to answer your questions the best I can.

> What distribution and version are you running?
Slackware 12.2

> btw, what version of cmake do you use?
# cmake --version
cmake version 2.6-patch 2 (ie. 2.6.2)

> The undefined references are part of libutil. So could you try building it
again without the -DPYTHON_LIBRARY:PATH setting and with adding -lutil.

Yes, I saw a post for the error I posted and adding -lutil worked for that person.
The problem is I don't know what variable should be passed to cmake to include
-lutil.  I added -lutil to my custom C(XX)FLAGS and that seemed to work as it
compiled fine.  But, I'm not that familure with cmake so I just tried a few
things until it worked.

>I would also like to see the output of running a fresh cmake .. in the build
directory.

Not exactly sure what you're referring too.  Did you want a log file of the
build process, the configure process, or both?!?!?  Or is there a log file that
Cmake outputs too?

On a side note, it doesn't look like libtuxcap has support for lib64 or using
the variable LIB_SUFFIX.  I added LIB_SUFFIX to tuxcap/lib/CMakeLists.txt by
adding it to these lines.

	INSTALL(TARGETS tuxcap tuxcap_static
	LIBRARY DESTINATION lib${LIB_SUFFIX}
	ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib${LIB_SUFFIX}
	)

Adding LIB_SUFFIX to these lines allowed the libraries to be installed to /usr/lib64.
I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place for that variable but it seemed
to work.
