NETPBM: Undefined subroutine &main::tempfile called at .

Hi,

When running Netpbm's configure I get this:
(Linux slackware 7.3 series)

ascent@ascent:~/netpbm-10.7$ ./configure

Which of the following best describes your platform?
gnu GNU/Linux
sun Solaris or SunOS
hp HP-UX
aix AIX
win Windows/DOS (Cygwin, DJGPP, Mingw32)
tru64 Tru64
irix Irix
bsd NetBSD, BSD/OS
openbsd OpenBSD
osx Darwin or Mac OS X
unixware Unixware
beos BeOS
none none of these are even close

Your choice (gnu)==>

Do you want a regular build or a merge build (see README)?

regular or merge (regular) ==>

Do you want libnetpbm to be statically linked or shared?

static or shared (shared) ==>

Do you want to build static libraries too (for linking to
programs not in the Netpbm package?

(y)es or (n)o (y) ==>

The following questions concern the subroutine libraries that are Netpbm
prerequisites. Every library has a compile-time part (header files)
and a link-time part. In the case of a shared library, these are both
part of the "development" component of the library, which may be separately
installable from the runtime shared library. For each library, you must
give the filename of the link library. If it is not in your linker's
default search path, give the absolute pathname of the file. In addition,
you will be asked for the directory in which the library's interface headers
reside, and you can respond 'default' if they are in your compiler's default
search path.

If you don't have the library on your system, you can enter 'none' as the
library filename and the builder will skip any part that requires that library.

What is your TIFF (graphics format) library?
library filename or 'none' (libtiff.so) ==>
Where are the interface headers for it?
TIFF header directory (default) ==>

What is your JPEG (graphics format) library?
library filename or 'none' (libjpeg.so) ==>
Where are the interface headers for it?
JPEG header directory (default) ==>

What is your PNG (graphics format) library?
library filename or 'none' (libpng.so) ==>
Where are the interface headers for it?
PNG header directory (default) ==>

What is your Z (compression) library?
library filename or 'none' (libz.so) ==>
Where are the interface headers for it?
Z header directory (default) ==>

Please don't cross-post your questions into several forums at once. This does not make any sense and it will not speed up the response.

Bharat and I now have answered to both versions of your posting and the answers are extremely similar...
