Re: Can not follow FAQ about suffix error

[Ray Sheppard <rsheppar at iu dot edu>]

Hi again,
 Please remember that I had already built all the prerequisites and 
explicitly told configure the path to each of them.  To be honest, that 
the package would lose its mind and not know where the libraries were 
never crossed my mind until it was pointed out.
All the best.

Hi,
  I guess I missed the contrib/download until Ruoyao Li wrote last 
night.  My confusion was that the reply in the FAQ said to go to a 
specific config.log and follow the directions.  Inside that config.log, 
the directions were to go to that config.log and follow the directions...
