 	That seemed to get me past that 'configure' difficulty ,  But of course 
there is now another during 'make' :-( .
 	What include file am I missing now ?  This is surely symptomatic of a 
missing include file or include file version level .  I've searched the whole of 
my logging system & not found any .h file with this symbol defined on it .
 	This is getting disheartening .  Eventlog compiled w/o any problems at 
all .

 	The complete log (from off the Console) includes ./configure & make 
output , is available at :
