configure error

[John Campbell]

Hello,

Inspired by successfully compiling 2.0.6 on a SCO Unixware 7.1 box I attempted similar on a Sequent Numa-Q running Dynix 4.4.2.

Er , Configure failed with the following message:

checking for conflicting AUTH_ERROR define in rpc/rpc.h... no
checking for test routines... configure: error: cant find test code. Aborting config


I am mostly ignorant of C:   any suggestions as to my next move would be appreciated. I have saved the ./configure output for future reference. 

thanks,
