Build LSMGenGeo

Happy New Year to everybody

I'm trying to install on a segment of our local cluster LSMGenGeo.
The nodes of that segment run on OpenSuse 10.3 2.6.18.2-34-default kernel.

I've just downloaded LSMGenGeo with the command:

svn checkout https://svn.esscc.uq.edu.au/svn/esys3/lsm/contrib/LSMGenGeo LSMGenGeo

Then I've followed the instructions inside the file INSTALL.

At the stage of

./configure

I obtain the following error message

cat: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf: No such file or directory
cat: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf: No such file or directory
cat: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf: No such file or directory
configure: error: Could not link against !

Has someone already had a similar configure error while building LSMGenGeo ?

Thanks a lot for your help
