That explains failing bits, then. :)

Sure. Overall, I attached 3 patches you might be interested in, to be
applied in the following order :
1. enable-system-wx.diff
2. cascade_hbt.diff
3. enable_system_libwww.diff

The second one applies the --host --build and --target when configuring
redland, libwww,... to make them consistant. The third one does the same
as enable-system-wx for the W3C libWWW.

Using these patches, and running
"./configure --with-gl --enable-system-redland --enable-system-wx
--enable-system-libwww", I could build and run the binary using only the
amaya-src tarball.

Note that :
-these patches have already been submitted here, but not accepted (nor
refused).
-the libWWW patch has not been used for the Debian binary package yet. But
I've used it without problem so far.

I'm interested to see these patches more widely tested and validated so
they could be included in the CVS and benefit to everyone. So, any
feedback/correction is welcome.
