hi.

poor, thewade.
but once you are through everything, you might consider yourself an expert (or
similar)....

hmm, but these postings look rather old (according to their type; i haven't had
a look at their contents)

my system uses glibc-2.3.2.ds1

does the developpers version match ? (guess it is glibc-devel)
could there be any issues with TLS ?
what is the version of your compiler ?

unfortunately i have forgotten how (this is: what was the compiler: "gcc" or
just "cc" ?) you managed to compile the little-example script i sent to you. 

and have you already tried to build the configure-script yourself ? (with
"autoconf")

please do not consider your postings as spam.
even though it often takes me a long time to answer, i keep being interested in
your problems, and loads of future generation will probably be so too.
