First Try: In my own directory
make clean     (as me)
./config       (as me)
make           (as me)         same results

2nd Try:   In my own directory
make clean     (as me)
./config       (as me)
su root -      (and then "cd" to my own directory)
make           (as root)       same results

3rd Try:   In my own directory
make clean     (as me)
./config       (as me)
su root -      (and then "cd" to my own directory)
make clean     (as root)
make           (as root)       same results

I re-read the www.courier-mta.org  install and it's sure not obvious
what I'm missing.  It looks like I have all the correct modules.  I am
working with maildrop-2.0.1.tar.bz2 dated 23-Sep-2005 and NOT the
development version.  In my usual state...stuck.
