It gets worse by the hour. I redownloaded 1.3.3.13 from 
SourceForge,  went through the usual machinations and now I 
get a message that I have an obsolete package:

 WARNING: you are using the obsolete 'PKGCONFIG' macro use 
FindPkgConfig

This is on the cmake step. 

So I deleted CMakeCache.txt  and reran cmake . which got rid 
of the error message. But it still errors off.  

Time to go watch TV, and study the shiny new manual some 
more.
