*sigh* It looks like if the OpenAL package has been built correctly, but now 
the ALUT package makes some trouble. :-P I'll have a look into it at the 
weekend, in the meantime "--disable-alut" will probably help, disabling 
OpenAL itself is not needed.

Sorry for all the trouble, but the OpenAL and ALUT libraries have been a 
moving target in the past, but things have consolidated recently. Alas, some 
Linux/*BSD/... distributions are still shipping very old stuff. Catching all 
these differences via autoconf is non-trivial.

Cheers,
