You need to look at config.log to find out why the test program wouldn't 
compile or run.

It should look something like this (this is from the CVS version but you 
get the idea...)

configure:7584: checking preferred charset formats for system iconv
configure:7603: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 [snip rest of long line]
conftest$configure:7606: $? = 0
configure:7608: ./conftest
System prefers iso-8859-1
System prefers iso-2022-jp
System prefers iso-10646
configure:7611: $? = 0
configure:7614: result: found

I looked up the word 'paranoid' in the dictionary. It said 'what do you
want to know for?' Interestingly, I couldn't find the word 'camouflage'
anywhere...                             "MadDanEccles" on alt.fan.goons
