Argh, the safety net is lying on the floor :-(

I had put an option that warned you to replace --with-db by
--with-libdb-prefix, but that comes too late, when ./configure is
already dead.

OK. The config.log confirms the lack of ranlib, but I'm at a loss WRT
the linker errors you're reported elsewhere. The config.log cannot help
me here, I'm afraid. :-/ I hope the nm output is elucidating, but I'm
not very acquainted with the things GSL does to build.

Can you fetch and build GSL on your system, and if so, install it? It
MAY solve our problem, because I have stripped configure.ac quite a bit
when importing the original GSL, and this may have cost features I
deemed unnecessary but that may be needed on DGUX.

GSL should be available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gsl/
