As in, "The documentations for getting bitpim's dependencies in place

Personally, I am happy to help w/ such updating, given the desire of  
the admin's in charge

does that mean a make install  or make clean step should be in there?




ok, these steps could use a bit more fleshing out...

# The static library is not built for inclusion into a seperate  
shared library
# by default.  If using gcc, then do this
$ env CC="gcc -fPIC" CFLAGS="-DHAVE_DLOPEN" ./configure --enable- 
threadsafe --disable-tcl
# otherwise do this
$ env CFLAGS="-DHAVE_DLOPEN" ./configure --enable-threadsafe -- 
disable-tcl
# The CFLAGS="-DHAVE_DLOPEN bit is needed for loading dynamic
# extensions.  See SQLite bug 2082

so, given these notes, I am assuming that with the latest dev tools,  
I am using gcc for building, and so have been using the first line,  
but not the second (env CFLAGS) line.
Is that OK?


Now, after tossing all, re-decompressing from their zip/gz files, I  
have redone the steps (again)

I get this:

so, maybe I have a problem with my Python installation elsewhere?

Could there be old detritus I need to get rid of first?
