[Xastir] shape lib problems

[vic]

Who in the H)!(@& is screwing around with shapelib and then comitting to CVS!!
The configure script reports all is well and then "make" fails with some garbage about shapelib when shape lib was working just fine all along...
By the way "make clean" doesn't work either, it tries to "MAKE" and then clean so of course it fails with the above message..
No wonder newbies have problems...

The experiments need to work, mostly, 

I'm p. o.  now I cannot update until all this is decided, working, changed, whatever  AND DOCS WRITTEN...
