	That explains the symptoms, and (if true) exposes the breakage: I don't 
have emacs installed ... but I do have xemacs.  And yes, they install 
their libraries to different paths.
	I know less than nothing about configure scripts: is there a place 
where a simple fudge would make it work?


	Respectfully,
