Really odd. Assuming it built correctly (if you built it), did you check
your nsswitch.conf, resolv.conf has good nameservers? Maybe a bad
/etc/hosts entry someplace? If you run nscd or another DNS cache, maybe
clear it (nscd -i hosts)/restart/stop it?

Maybe strace it, if you have strace or something similar and see what's
occuring.
