I am using HP's AnsiC compilers. I don't have GCC on this particular
box, but I do have other HP-UX machines that do have it. I'm somewhat
skeptical that that would make a difference, as it seems the compilers
tend to bomb on syntactical errors when it's compiler related, not
libraries.

Well, you have someone with root access on many HP-UX boxes, but I don't
really have any autoconf-fu. Autoconf doesn't really seem that difficult
to me, so I'd be willing to give it a shot if I knew the kind of stuff
I'd be trying...

How can I be of best assistance in this particular instance?
