When you port software that uses GNU autoconf, you MUST be careful. This tool picks up stuff that happens to be installed on your machine. You really HAVE to read configure output, especially looking for stuff that's `not there'. Because on some builders machine, those things WILL be there. *AND IT WILL FUCK THINGS UP*. It is not hard to do, and it is WAYS simpler to do while you run the port, than having to fix a BOGUS port once it breaks on your machine.
