[Nmh-workers] problem compiling nmh 1.6 on linux gentoo

[John Covici]

Hi.  I am having serious problems compiling nmh 1.6 -- probably some change
in libraries or some such.

Here is the output from make

(CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /usr/src/nmh-1.6/missing
autoheader)
rm -f stamp-h1
touch config.h.in
cd . && /bin/sh ./config.status config.h
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged
make  all-am

I hope I don't have to go back to 1.3!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
