Thanks for the response, Paul. I'm fairly certain that's not it -- here's my

configure.

It's got everything you referenced (and the paths look right -- it's a
strait install). So I'm still at a loss. Ah well -- I'm trying to slap
together an unobtrusive google reader clone so I've gots plenty to do before
I need to worry about persistence. I can just do everything in the browser
in the meantime.
I haven't even gotten started yet and I think I'm starting to love this
javascript + javascript development.
