Re: [DynInst_API:] Cannot link Dyninst to Ubuntu

I just checked in with Nate Rosenblum, and he does not expect esorics to 
necessarily build cleanly against a newer Dyninst; you were probably on 
the right track working with 6.1 (as sad as that makes us). However, 
you're seeing the same configuration problem in either case: parseAPI is 
not someplace that the esorics configure script can automatically pick 
up. I expect that "configure --help" should give you a list of 
--with-foo options, including something to specify the location of parseAPI.
