I'm not actually very satisfied with OpenSuse and I dislike Suse
Enterprise Edition, but I have to use them.  It doesn't surprise me that
I'm having problems.

I didn't remember, but this is why I switched to `libtoolize', `aclocal',
etc.

I'm using gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291].

I've read that installing glibc is somewhat of a challenge, but I suppose
I could try to install the current stable of release (or releases?) of
glibc and GCC in a non-standard location.
