No, I didn't change configure.in. With the code changes that I have
already sent to this list, the code compiles. Our 64 bit libxml2 is
broken, it seems, so the executables don't actually run. Obviously, this
is not a Kannel problem. I downloaded libxml2 and compiled both it and
Kannel in 32 bit mode and most of the tests passed:

-n Check: checks/check_counter...
 OK.
-n Check: checks/check_date...
 OK.
-n Check: checks/check_ipcheck...
 OK.
-n Check: checks/check_list...
 OK.
-n Check: checks/check_octstr...

-n Check: checks/check_fakewap.sh...

-n Check: checks/check_headers.sh...

-n Check: checks/check_http.sh...
do not check SSL, SSL not compiled in
 OK.
-n Check: checks/check_httpsmsc_kannel.sh...
 OK.
-n Check: checks/check_ppg.sh...
 OK.
-n Check: checks/check_sendsms.sh...
 OK.
-n Check: checks/check_smpp.sh...

It seems to just hang on this last one. I will investigate further as
soon as I have time to do so.

Unfortunately, I doubt that this will be possible. I'll investigate,
though. 

Thanks,
