I'm trying to compile the most recent version of Mozilla.  I want it to
be only for my user.  I've got an old RH9 box and I don't want to muck
with the other stuff that seems to be stable.  New versions of glib,
GTK, gimp, etc. have been installed in $HOME/usr

I downloaded the tarball and extracted the contents.  This was my
configure line

./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr

It complained that libIDL wasn't new enough, so I installed libIDL with
a prefix of $HOME/usr

Try again this time with

./configure --with-libIDL-prefix=$HOME/usr --prefix=$HOME/usr

Everything seemed to work fine.  make && make install worked and I had
a new binary in $HOME/usr/bin

However in running it I seem to have a problem.  It keeps saying I need
to install Personal Security Manager (PSM) to view most pages.

I have found a couple of things with google all saying do something
like adding --enable-module=psm to the configure line. I tried that did
a make clean && make && make install and I still get the error.

I then found something saying I shouldn't use ./configure at all but
use

gmake -f client.mk build_all

or

gmake -f client.mk build BUILD_MODULES=psm

This looked like it was going to work, but it got hung up with libIDL.
Is there an option for the configure script to build the PSM module?
If not there a way to tell the gmake thing where to find libIDL?

Thanks,

-Tom
