configure problem (can't work it out for myself)

hi,
I hope you can help me with this, as i don't really have a clue what i'm doing wrong.

I'm using SuSE 8.2, and when i try to use the configure script, i get this message:

./configure --with-mysql=/usr --with-webdir=/srv/www/htdocs/zm --with-cgidir=/srv/www/cgi-bin --with-webuser=wwwrun --with-webgroup=www

See `config.log' for more details.

I know this is probably something trivial for you guys, but i'm just stumped... and would appreciate any help very much.

thanks

H Mathew,

What does the 'config.log' file say?
