Les,

I installed the development tools and development libraries, as you 
suggested. I even tried to install packages x*.x86_64 There were some 
unresolved dependencies in the latter, so I used --skip-broken with yum. 
There was a report of conflicting files, so i don't know how much was 
actually installed.

Anyway, when I run autogen.sh configure make on a read-only copy of the 
liblouis svn repository I get the following errors.

../libtool: line 826: X--tag=CC: command not found
../libtool: line 859: libtool: ignoring unknown tag : command not found

This repository works on my home Linux machine, which is older than the 
vps.

Thanks,
John
