Hi,

I get exactly the same problem on a ROCKS system (based on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux AS release 3)

After much time in dependency hell, the configure line that almost works is

 ./configure --with-lapack=/usr/local/LAPACK/lapack_LINUX.a
--with-hdf5=/usr/local/hdf5-1.8.0-alpha4/hdf5/lib/libhdf5.a
--with-libctl=/usr/local/share/libctl --includedir=/usr/local/include  

but this also terminates with:

checking for ctl_get_vector3 in -lctl... yes
checking ctl.h usability... yes
checking ctl.h presence... no
configure: WARNING: ctl.h: accepted by the compiler, rejected by the
preprocessor!
configure: WARNING: ctl.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to [email protected]. ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
checking for ctl.h... no
configure: error: Couldn't find the libctl header.

the relevant part of the config.log file follows below.

I did report this as a bug to [email protected] and they replied to 
say thatthe maintainer of the mpb/libctl would have a better idea how to 
fix  this, and using a newer version of autoconf may fix this problem.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Rhys Morris
