Hi people,

I just went through the compile dance for piper and at the very last moment I 
hit an unexpected snag.  I am using latest CVS sources.

My autogen command looks like this:
sh autogen.sh --prefix=/opt --with-piperhome=/home/piper \ 
--with-overflow=/opt/overflow --with-omniorb=/opt/omniORB \ 
--with-omnilibs=/opt/omniORB/lib/i586_linux_2.0_glibc2.1

It seems to complete without errors.  Then, when I run make, I get the 
following:
[...make visiting various boring directories here...]
make[5]: Entering directory `/home/aeoo/piper/piper/src/dl/vflow/interfaces'

Any ideas?  I am running on a Libranet 1.9.0 system, which is basically a 
Debian Potato system that I have dist-upgraded recently.  I have also 
installed a bunch of stuff in /opt, like Python 2.1.1, omniORB, and anything 
else that is not supplied by potato to my liking (or that doesn't fulfill the 
build requirement).

I really like the concept of piper.  I've looked through the slides and some 
other docs on the site.  My only ob-gripe is that piper has too many 
dependencies, and I am not sure if I like its heavy use of CORBA.  Of course 
these are very preliminary opinions that are liable to change as I learn 
more, and I would really have to do a lot of learning to understand it 
thoroughly.  But for now I would just like to compile it :).

Thank you,
