However, to date I have not done any c/c++ development on this system, so it

In my original posting I tried to express concern that the config.log was
too large to post ... but here you go:

trutta:~/povray-3.6.1 mth$ cat config.log
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by POV-Ray configure 3.6.1, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.57.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure COMPILED_BY=Miguel <mig### [at] jmolorg>
