Thanks Anthony. Crazy thing is that it was from the same tar file, so unless the IM distribution folks are mis-aligning the files, they were from the same version.
HOWEVER..... I did get it to work last night. The trick is to not even bother with downloading the files from IM's website and trying to compile them. Instead, use FreeBSD's "Ports" to go out and get the software and all its dependents for you and compile it that way. Other OS's have similar features. RedHat has one, but last I used it, it totally hosed my IM installation. I was able to get it up and running again, but I lost some of the annotate features. Crazy. Another reason I'm moving to FreeBSD. So the moral of the story is, if it's not working, you're doing it wrong (I can hear you developers laughing).
