--- Comment #2 from George R. Goffe <grgoffe@...oo.com> ---
Theodore,

Thanks for your response and the time you spent formulating it.

I have found the problem.

By the way, I did read INSTALL and followed it's directives.

The problem is that when I build software I run make distclean then configure
then make clean depend then make then make install.

The make clean in this case removes the config.h file, hence the failures. My
thoughts about make clean are that this removes build products, object files,
etc.

I've seen other software that has this problem as well and have no-oped the
make clean in my build scripts.

My question to you is, "Should the config.h file and whatever configure
generates be part of the clean target or should it be part of make distclean"?

Regards,

George...
