BTW I also saw that the configure script of the GL module use /usr/X11R6/lib as the path to search for the library while the linker used at the compilation doesn't (there is -L/usr/X11R6/lib) so the compilation can fail if your GL lives in /usr/X11R6/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib is not in your usual paths for searching for libraries.

I would not recommend running 7.5 to anyone who does not keep an eye on the developer list. It's sort of unstable, by definition. :-)

Then it would be worth to fail the configuration script if Nettle dependency is failed and add a doc on how to get Nettle support.

Well, since you are on the development list you should know about or plans to include Nettle in the dists.

I wasn't speaking only for me but generally. The goal of a configure script is, among other, to warn the user if a needed dependency failed IIRC and point to ways to get the problem fixed.
