The same source is used to generate Amaya 9.54 and Amaya 8.54. The first one 
has a wxWidgets user interface and the former has a old GTK 1 user interface.
To generate Amaya 9.54 you have to remove --with-gtk

../configure --prefix=/usr/local/pkg/amaya-9.54

Some part of the install is automatically generated from configure and some 
other from install parameters. That explains why there is a confusion between 
8.54 and 9.54.

Please remove your object subdirectory and restar form the beginning to be 
sure that all the code is compiled with right options.
