Please provide:

1. config.log
2. Output from when you ran configure and make, including exact
   commands you typed

One good way to acquire 2. is to enable logging e.g. using script,
before you execute the commands. In particular, you should never
ever re-type the commands in email or on IRC, but copy-paste from
the terminal where you executed them of course also works great!

The crucial point is that when *any* little piece of information is
missing then it likely becomes impossible to find what the actual
issue is, but people will try anyway, so sending the right info is
important not to waste effort.

config.log is the most important. It will hopefully have all
neccessary details. If it's too large for the list then feel free
to send directly to me.
