what version of perl do you have?

Based on the list at http://developer.wz2100.net/wiki/Compile_Guide I believe so.

Have the dependencies changed much since the 2.0.x series? 2.0.10 builds and runs fine for me. When I first tried to use the Gentoo ebuild, it successfully pulled in a few new packages -- the DejaVu fonts was one, I forget the rest.

As I said in my last post, I had to upgrade sqlite to build from SVN, and I see sqlite isn't on the dependencies list on Trac. Maybe there's other stuff missing too?

Hm, well... First I tried compiling from the release tarball, just a simple "./configure ; make", and that died with the same error I get from the ebuild.

Next I checked out trunk from svn, and that's worse. autogen.sh appeared to go okay, but configure throws a couple of strange complaints:

[...]
config.status: creating po/Makefile
configure:
configure: *** Running in debug mode! ***
configure:
configure: WARNING: Distributor unknown!
configure: Use --with-distributor when compiling package for distribution
configure:
configure: WARNING: Not using a system provided SQLite library.
configure: WARNING: Requested 'sqlite3 >= 3.6' but version of SQLite is 3.5
configure: WARNING: We currently only accept SQLite versions >= 3.6.
configure:
configure: WARNING: Perl isn't installed, autogeneration of some sources will not work.

The configure run in the ebuild doesn't complain about sqlite or perl. sqlite >3.5 is masked currently, but I unmasked and upgraded to make that go away.

Weirder is the perl complaint. I sure do have perl installed... and the complaint doesn't go away if I add "--with-perl=/usr/bin/perl".

I went ahead and ran make, and got a different but similar build failure:

I'm trying to install version 2.1.0 from the Gentoo ebuild, and the compile dies. Filed a bug with the Gentoo bug system a few days ago (bug #253308), but haven't seen a response so far.

Excerpt from the compile pasted below; I realize this might not be much to go on but I don't know what else might be helpful, can provide further info with prompting.
