Whew!

But if you used my script, there should not have been anything that 
was to be put into /usr/bin.  My script I believe specifies the 
prefix as /usr/local, and *everything* goes in that tree, even the 
libraries.  And I don't think SuSE would dare try and override that, 
or even know how.

Humm, old config.status, config.cache maybe, darnedifIknow.

As root, move my script out of there, and do a make clean.  Then su 
amanda, move that script back in, remove config.status and 
config.cache so you are starting with a clean slate and try it again.  
If you can't remove them go back to root just long enough to do it.

This thing is turning into a problem child, the kind I'd spank with a 
fresh install of SuSE just to make *me* feel better :).

Has anybody else thought of anything I've missed?  I sometimes miss 
the glaringly obvious as you all well know by now.
