Thanks for the quick response.  The symbolic link allowed configure to complete, but with a warning, viz.:

configure: warning: the 'g_get_(user_name|real_name|home_dir|tmp_dir)'
  functions will not be MT-safe during their first call because
  there is no 'getpwuid_r' on your system.

I pass it along for whatever it's worth.

Is this something I can correct?

Is it related to the large disparity between the size of libpthread-0.7.so between Slackware 3.6 (2.0.35),
and Redhat 5.2 (2.0.36)?  I.e. on Slackware:

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        49492 Oct 24 23:09 /lib/libpthread-0.7.so

and on RedHat:

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       198784 Oct 13 04:37 /lib/libpthread-0.7.so

I am, for political reasons, constrained to use Slackware at the moment, but am gathering ammunition (of which I already have a
significant amount) for using RedHat.  Perhaps this is some more.

Do you know the reason for this large disparity?


Then make failed.  I pass along the output of make, for whatever it's worth.

Again, thanks for any illumination.
