Using the configure in the book "make" crashes with this error:

I was never able to figure this out despite 2 days of head-scratching.
Anybody got any ideas?

I was able to get poppler to compile and install using the cmake configuration
instead and editing CMakeLists.txt for what I wanted.

I'd really like to use the book's instructions but those sqlite3 references errors
kept getting me. Thoughts?

After much googling which I probably should have done in the 1st place I finally found the solution.
The problem was that nss-3.29 needs to be compiled against the system sqlite3 and I had somehow
missed that step. I don't know how it happened. Anyway, this problem is fixed. Sorry to bother
but maybe it will help someone else who has this happen.
