I had done that already in my effort to solve things but nothing usefull 
could be learned from that except for the configure error number.
I found however that it has sth. to do with the state my server (P4 - 
1,8GHz, 512MB) is in after running all day and after several compile 
attempts. Maybe it's running too hot.
It issues these ilogical and kind of insane errors when compiling. The 
solution is to re-boot.

So, this morning when booting up my server, I could compile again 
without problems.
I've made a binary and source rpm of 1.0.1 for SuSE 8.2 which I can send 
to you if you're interested.

When installing the binary rpm it complained about libGlcore.so.1 (part 
of the NVIDIA GLX driver) which it couldn't find in the rpm database. 
This is normal since the lib was installed using NVIDIA's install script 
and not via an rpm. So, just installing with --nodeps is recommended here.

I've tested with your demo, nice, and it seems to run OK.

I've just know started it up pointing it to ~/MyImages where all my 
images are (in a number of subdirs per subject) and it made groups of 
100 images (I've got 8200 of them) regardless of sub-dir. I hope I can 
still re-order them accordingly.

Thanks for the fine program which will no doubt still evolve for the better.

Cheers,
Guy.
