then you have make the change in the configure file as described earlier in the thread and run configure again.
now if I can only remember all the options I originally specified!
you will find in tDOM-0.8.0/unix/config.log in the seventh line the parameters used in the last run.
Thank you for your continued help.
Apparently autoconf is not installed by default. I installed it.
Though AutoConf still didn't seem to work. I kinda started back at the beginning of the configure steps for tDOM and somehow I got past the make install.... so I'm onto the next step.
Thank you again!
