trouble building (linking) code on Xubuntu

[John Gabriele]

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place to ask about this. Please let me
know if I should be asking this elsewhere.

I'm trying to build the most recent version of
[ne](http://ne.dsi.unimi.it/) (the "nice editor") on Xubuntu 12.04.
The source files seem to compile fine, but then when I get to the link
stage, I get this:

~~~
{...snip various files getting successfully compiled, ... then}

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [ne] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/john/opt/src/ne-2.4/src'
make: *** [install] Error 2
~~~

(If it matters, this is on a 64-bit machine.)

As an aside, if I go ahead and install ne via apt-get (which gets me
the older ne version 2.3.1), I see this:

~~~
$ ldd `which ne`
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff76fff000)
        libtinfo.so.5 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5
(0x00007f29b7416000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f29b711c000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f29b6d5e000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f29b7650000)
~~~

Any suggestions as to what might be the problem?

Thanks,
