[LUNI] dependency madness

[Gerald Guglielmo]

Hi,
    I tried a few things I wouldn't recommend to anyone, and in the end 
they didn't work either. Maybe someone else on the list is more 
experienced/clever in this regard. Good luck.

It appears to be cutting edge, atleast to the point that I can't use yum -- I am running Centos.  As a result I use the cvs version run the ./bootstrap and then configure.  Configure give me this error:
