You top posted, is what I'm saying. Not complaining, just letting you know how to follow the message. /.configure --help works, but only with the complete path I mentioned above. It does, on the other hand, work okay in the form ./configure \ which is also explained above. I probably just don't understand enough & will keep playing with it. I was just lazy & didn't want to peruse the makefile, write down or print the arguments I wanted to use, & they type them in after make.
