Thanks Theo 

The compile, make, and "make install" now works with a default install
of spread (i.e. spread libs in /usr/local/lib)

./configure --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/include \
--with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/lib \
--with-ldflags=-Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/lib \
--prefix=/usr/local/whacka

works on redhat AS 3.0  
(obviously change the prefix to whatever you like /usr/local/whacka is
just my choice)
