First, get the ebuild file from =20
http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/amaya.ebuild.  To use it, you need to set =20
up a local overlay.  Instructions are at =20
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/userguide.xml.  Using the ebuild =20
allows you to control the configuration using USEflags.  It may be a =20
bit more work than compiling directly, but it helps assuring you have =20
all dependencies and it is usually easier to upgrade versions.  Also, =20
using emerge saves the log of the configure/build process, which helps =20
tracking down problems.

OK.  As I see it, that means it is not trying to use the system libwww =20
(which you may not have anyway) so something seems to have gone wrong =20
during the configuration.  Is there anything in the =20
/home/siefke/Downloads/Amaya/obj/libwww directory?  Do you see anything =20
in the output of ./configure related to libwww that looks like it might =20
be a problem?
