[Help-nano] Compiling nano on Slackware 9.0

[openkai]

Hello!

I tried to compile nano (I like it being so small and easy to use) on my newly 
installed Slackware 9.0 following the advice in the nano FAQ.

Unfortunately, running configure, I get an error and cannot figure out what it 
does actually mean (kind of Linux newbie). Probably, there is something missing 
on my system (I didn't install all development packages for instance due to 
limited space on the harddisk but all packages marked necessary)

Please have a look at the config.low below, a good idea what I could try to get 
nano compiled would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Kai
