running PowerShell successfully, but it will not be compiled with

><P
> If all is not well, you may need to
examine config.log and see exactly what happened. In most cases,
this happens when either your library versions are too old or
configure is finding the wrong version of gtk-config or gnome-config.
Check your PATH variable to make sure the correct one (the one from
the newest version you have installed) comes before the older versions
in your path. Or even better, delete the older versions.

> This is the first program I've written that uses a

be bugs in it. One has been reported to be when running under Solaris,
