Ok, here's the deal:

First, the caveat: I don't know much about the workings of 'install'.

Given that, I can now execute 'install()' successfully, at least up to 
the reply
  "can't find symbol 'addii' in dynamic symbol table of process"

It appears that dlopen() in highlvl.c is being called with a NULL as the 
first argument, which, as I read the man page, means that we're trying 
to open the 'process', correct?  I assume that the process (which is 
bound against /usr/local/lib/libpari-2.2.dylib) should be able to access 
that library using the NULL argument to 'dlopen()'.

I'm currently stumped, but will try to figure out what's up.

FWIW, with the Configure I now have, *and* with the pre-installed dylib, 
I can build with no problem.  If I build without the installed dylib, I 
get the good, old, 'ranlib' complaint (I put the .a back in place, just 
for grins).

To get here I had to:
 - install dlcompat (I used Fink, which puts things in a non-standard 
place)
 - create a link from the installed library to /usr/lib, by hand
 - find the file 'dlfcn.h' in the fink tar file and install it
   (there may be a better way, which I'm looking into to)
   I chose to install it in /sw/include, where Fink would, and then 
slink it
   to /usr/include.

So to finish up, we need to figure out how to deal with the 'dlcompat' 
issue properly; and figure out why the build requires the library to be 
pre-installed (you may already understand that; I just don't).

Ideas are welcome.

Regards,

Justin
