Hi Chris, Thanks for your help.
The last few lines of config.log read,

configure:1970: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lpth
-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lpth   1>&5
configure:2006: checking for adns_init in -ladns
configure:2025: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -ladns -LNONE/lib 
-lpth  1>&5
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot open -lpth: No such file or directory
configure: failed program was:
#line 2014 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error.  */
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
     builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
char adns_init();

int main() {
adns_init()
; return 0; }



Ill try it again tonight and see how I get on.
