Excellent, thanks for the tip.

OK, I've checked out a clean copy from CVS.  Now when I run "sh ./ 
autogen.sh" I get the following:

configure.ac: installing `./install-sh'
configure.ac: installing `./mkinstalldirs'
configure.ac: installing `./missing'
aclocal.m4:319: installing `./py-compile'

implies condition BUILD_EXAMPLES_TRUE

     TRUE => site-packages/visual src
   }

Completed successfully

====================== snip ========================

Lulled by the false sense of security from that last line ("Completed  
successfully") I tried running the resulting .configure, but received  
syntax errors, so I'm taking a step back to try to get autogen.sh to  
run without errors.  Do any of the above ring any bells for you?  Do  
these indicate that I'm missing a library, need a newer version of  
the autoconf chain (I'm pretty sure I'm up to date with that), or  
something else?

Thanks again for your help!
