Sure. Are you a developer? If so, then these problems are not
insurmountable and probably only require some investigation of the
source. Feel free to offer him some advice.
I didn't want to take time to figure out what was going on and suggested

1. configure
2. make
3. What??? HELP!!!!
4. Wait for someone on the mailing list to look at the source and figure
 out what was going wrong.
