[Nmh-workers] Problem trying to build nmh from CVS on ubuntu fiesty

[Jeffrey C Honig]

I followed the directions in docs/README.developer (autoheader, ...).

When I try to configure I get an error that I can trace to this entry in
config.log:

Is the problem with the -V w/o an argument.  Or did I forgot to install
some Ubuntu package?


Thanks.
