I had almost   the  same  problems  with an   ELF  1.1.1  binary   for
Linux. Then I couldn't compile 1.9x neither 1.1.1. Then I downloaded a
statically  compiled binary and had   no  problems.  Try a  statically
compiled 1.1.1  from  http://www.che.wisc.edu,   it's very  robust.  I
installed it with no problems in several systems.
