Re: Installation problem

If I recall, it is the type of system, linux, bsd, x86, etc. Stuff like
that. I think I encountered a problem like that when trying to compile
Sendmail. For that there was a paramter where you could specify the host
type in one of the config files. I think the problem derives from some sort
of package that I didn't have installed, because I reinstalled the OS and
tried again and it picked it up fine.

Sorry.. i gave more of a theoried explanation than a solution...
