Project:      GNU Smalltalk
Version:      <none>
Component:    Base classes
Category:     bug reports

1. autoreconf and ./configure on a system missing one or more auxiliary
libraries (e.g., GDBM, libpq, etc.)
2. Issue make.
3. VM build seems to succeed, but packages seem to fail with something
similar to the following:

ln -s -f
/Users/benjamin/Documents/Code/smalltalk/packages/dbd-mysql/Row.st
/tmp/gstar-UvxmGW/DBD-MySQL/Row.st
ln -s -f
/Users/benjamin/Documents/Code/smalltalk/packages/dbd-mysql/Statement.st
/tmp/gstar-UvxmGW/DBD-MySQL/Statement.st
rm -f /Users/benjamin/Documents/Code/smalltalk/DBD-MySQL.star
cd /tmp/gstar-UvxmGW/DBD-MySQL && /usr/bin/zip -n .st:.xml -qr
/Users/benjamin/Documents/Code/smalltalk/DBD-MySQL.star .
make[2]: *** No rule to make target
`packages/dbd-postgresql/stamp-classes', needed by `all-local'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

Running "touch packages/dbd-postgresql/stamp-classes" and similar will
allow the build to continue.

This was tested on Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.0.
