RE: Problem compiling on FreeBSD 5.3

It's not just a header problem or I wouldn't even ask.

The autogen.sh will not run on FreeBSD. And in fact shouldn't even have to run. 
The configure script should already be generated when the tar.gz was packaged 
so that all anyone has to do is run configure then make and so on... The 
autogen.sh shell script is there to generate this configure, which is backward. 
The whole point of using configure is to bypass difficulties in compiling the 
same source on different systems. Having to run autogen.sh as the first step 
pretty much goes back to the core issues of why configure was developed in the 
first place.

Now onto why FreeBSD has an issue, which specifically has to do with the 
autoconf, automake, aclocal, etc. that exist in the autogen.sh. FreeBSD has 
multiple versions of these installed for various reasons so there is no single 
link which means that the autogen.sh script has to be edited manually but then 
which version should be used?

The real solution is to get rid of the autogen.sh shell script and post a 
tar.gz with a configure that does what it is suppose to do, which is deal with 
platform differences. I some what belive that there was an error packaging the 
0.9.7 version and that in fact they meant to generate a tar.gz with the 
configure already generated by the projects maintainers but that something was 
missed.

Anyone have an opinion, flaming aside.

You can modified the source code to solve it. It's only a header file's problem.
