What goes wrong?

Yes, it's on the todo list to fix this. The problem is that nobody made
a ftgl.m4, and I don't know how to write one since libftgl is C++.

I've haven't got libftgl installed right now, but does anyone know a
C-callable function in libftgl, i.e., so it's possible to do a
AC_CHECK_LIB(ftgl,xxx)?

I don't know about these, since they're already set-up on my Redhat box,
e.g.,

service postgresql start

You'd probably need something like:

createuser jes  (as postgresql super-user)
createdb gnubg (as jes)
psql < gnubg.sql

I'm not sure if it's necessary to do the "createuser" part...
