Hi Micah,

Just to follow up with what Alan said.

Definately check the config.log.  I would probably guess that you got
an undefined symbol error.  So you might need to edit the ./configure
script to link in that library.  (It might be X11 that needs to be
linked!)

Of course that is all guessing on my part.  :-)

config.log should show you the way...
