I will certainly let you know for you to add on your install page when I
find the problem.

And how is "configure.in" gets "configured". This is no text file. It
originates from a program or script.

Now about that little test that check if vprint(f) is defined. In
"configure", vprintf() is declared of type CHAR. I chgeck stdio.h on my
hostsystem and it is defined as INT.

If I compile the following piece:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#include </usr/include/stdio.h>
int main() {
char vprintf();

vprintf();
; return 0; }

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I get the compile error: "conflicting types for vprintf()"

Does that help ?
