I am starting to use Atmel AVR's and I want to try this program.

I am looking at other options as well.
While trying to compile the program, I have installed most of the
devel and libs so I only get three or four error messages when
running ./configure
One of them that I cannot find any answers to is where do I find
ac_nonexitent.h. I have searched Google (31,800 hits) and I see
^ an 's' is missing, isn't it?
that this is a common question for many users but I never see an
answer. Two days of looking and I am no closer to an answer. I did
solve the issue with vfork.h (use unistd.h) this morning. :)
As others have asked in my searches, I have errors when compiling
and trying to fix all the ./configure issues first.
Does configure exit cleanly or does it throw an error when this
happens? I *think* that ac_nonexistent.h is something autoconf uses
to test and isn't supposed to exist. (But I've not found that
documented ATM.) I can tell you that a similar message is found in
the config.log of some software I successfully build all the time.
What errors are you getting from make? It might be worth posting a
link to the output from ./configure && make (and perhaps also the
config.log file).
I am doing this at home so I cannot remember the last error message. I
spent most of last night getting rid of all but four error messages in
the config.log file. I was missing many headers at first as well as
other things like bison and yacc. Some simple things as well.
The last two times I tried to run, it stopped with error messages but
that was before I got rid of even more missing items in the log.
Hopefully tonight I will be able to get an answer. I am expecting an
error related to vfork as it is may be looking for the wrong header. I
will have to check the config file (another new experience). :)
