Dr. Robert Delius Royar PhD writes: Would you try the appended patch? (You only need to run autoconf and configure and see if the linker flags are set correctly; you don't need to do a full build.) I'm not an expert on configure.ac code either, but it should work and it is a bit cleaner. I don't have a recent Mac OS X to try it on, unfortunately. Also check the credit in the log message; I can delete email and/or the whole thing on request, but credit where credit is due is important to us. Don't bother with the regenerated configure. The attachment will probably get scrubbed, and anybody who will try patches posted to the list almost surely knows how to regenerate configure. diff -r 0df3cedee9ac ChangeLog --- a/ChangeLog Fri Mar 02 18:26:14 2012 +0000 +++ b/ChangeLog Sat Jul 28 01:18:23 2012 +0900 ＠＠ -0,0 +1,9 ＠＠ +2012-07-28 Stephen J.
