Unless it involves substantial work in answering, are any flags to

./configure ifort_x86_64

in order that xleap is not involved and make finds a clean territory?
I don't need xleap in this context, simply a fully patched code to
modify in sander.

I noticed the issue about X, but X in lenny is the same as in etch,
and the computers are the same (old stuff of many years ago). At any
event, my mail was not addressed to any particular individual. One can
simply skip my mail if of no interest.

thanks
