You're all nuts. configure works without error.

The IDL.h wchar problem is not a configure script problem. I've sent e-mail
to Mr. libIDL, and he will get to it when he has time.

In the meantime, we wait patiently and try to find other problems. (You can
work around the IDL.h wchar problem by putting a '#include <wchar.h>'
somewhere near the top of ORBit/libIDL/IDL.h)

The release was intended to get people to test the new features out and
find the bugs. (Not that it was made abundantly clear.)

This IDL.h problem doesn't happen with RHL 6.0 (which I use at work), so I
didn't know about the problem.
