Hi John,

thanks for all the build tests performed.  I think you need to install
some more packages:

sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib libmpfr-dev libgmp-dev libmpc-dev flex

hopefully this will fix the configure.

yes I think there is a fix for this - I need to login to a machine which
is not connected to the network to find out - which will hopefully be
tomorrow.

thanks - I'll add dejagnu to the apt-get list.

again thanks - will recreate gm2.html and gm2.pdf
