Update for Mac OS X issues - I tried to reproduce the "CLASSPATH"  
problem but it doesn't happen now. The message then was
...
You have no CLASSPATH, I hope it is good
checking for java-live... java-live
checking for uudecode... yes
checking if uudecode can decode base 64 file... yes
checking if java-live works... configure: error: The Java VM java- 
live failed (see config.log, check the CLASSPATH?)
make: *** [configure-extra] Error 1

Now it says that there is no antlr.jar (which is correct). And  
specifying --disable-gjdoc then allowed the configure and build to  
work OK. So the Mac OS X version appears fine.

Thanks.....Peter
