AFAIK, I changed nothing in the configuration process in Gambas 2 since the 
beginning. I recently changed things only in Gambas 3 (/trunk).

If you don't tell exactly which commands you run to compile Gambas, it is 
difficult to understand what happens.

Are you doing a ./reconf when compiling both gambas 2.15.2 and gambas2 form 
/branches/2.0 ?

Because there is a "./configure" script located in the 2.15.2 source package, 
but it has been generated on my Mandriva. If you do a "./reconf", you are 
generating the "./configure" script again, but on your own machine, which may 
change many things.
