Well, the tail of the config.log contains
a lot of *why* things failed.

Anyway, You have to configure, make and *make install*
all of the libraries lwp, rpc2 and rvm (in that order)
before you do coda.

Otherwise headers and libraries cannot be found be configure.

I don't know why rpm's didn't work.

So long,
