the configure check for libol was wrong in 1.6.0rc1, therefore you should
either update to a newer snapshot or fix change the configure.in file where
it detects libol version to this code:

LIBOL_VERSION=[`echo $LIBOL_VERSION | cut -d '+' -f 1`]
LIBOL_MAJOR=[`echo $LIBOL_VERSION | cut -d '.' -f 1`]
LIBOL_MINOR=[`echo $LIBOL_VERSION | cut -d '.' -f 2`]
LIBOL_PATCH=[`echo $LIBOL_VERSION | cut -d '.' -f 3`]

it used to be a couple of sed scripts which does not always work on all
platforms ( it is around line 230-240 in configure.in).

If you changed configure.in you have to rerun autoconf to regenerate the
configure script.
