	Did you use --with-perl and --with-tcl? ./configure --help might
help in finding the answers to those. We don't "search" for them in $PATH,
so you have to explicitly enable them.

	Ok, so far so good.

	You need to mount usbdevfs, as detailed in the README.usb in the
pilot-link ./doc subdirectory.

	Check the README, it should clear things up for you.
