Hi Kevin,

I checked out a fresh copy of OpenSRF trunk and ran through the steps.  The 
only departure I made was to provide a new TMP directory.  The compilation 
fails when it can't find the OpenSRF header files.

% aclocal
% libtoolize --force
% automake -a
configure.ac: installing `./install-sh'
configure.ac: installing `./missing'
src/c-apps/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
src/libopensrf/Makefile.am: installing `./compile'
Makefile.am: installing `./INSTALL'
% automake
% autoconf
% PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin ./configure --with-tmp_dir=/tmp/o1
...
% make
...
osrf_json_object.c:20:25: error: opensrf/log.h: No such file or directory
...


I see a "-I/include/" in the compile line.  Does that need to be changed to a 
relative path (or an explicit path to /mypath/OpenSRF/trunk/include)?

Lookin good...
