as a note here:  it looks as if you are following the directions on Soren's 
page concerining a CVS install.  i did the same but i noticed that explicitly 
checking out libvfs and libIDL was redundant as libvfs is part of the 
gnome-libs tree and libIDL is part of the ORBit tree.  how about updating your 
page Soren?

[snip subsequent makefile barf]

unlike your standard compiler, aclocal will not accept a "-I" ran together 
with its argument, so something like:
setenv ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/local/alpha"
is more appropriate (*ick* c-shell!)
