hmmm.. have checked all this.. libpopt.a is in my /usr/local/lib
(there's no .so or anything, should there be?) which is listed in my
ld.so.conf ... always run ldconfig .. always remove config.cache before
rerunning autogen.sh ... hummm ... infact from the looks of it, the
configure script isn't even checking for popt!! .. a search in
config.log or config.cache finds no reference to popt .. and the console
output from configure doesn't refer to checking for it.. 

confused..:(
