The plot thickens.  There was no difference between the two
distributions.  Rather - I think it was my poor choice in directory
names.  I haven't gotten to the bottom of this but this is what I
think.

The error message during make check was:
libtool: link: cannot find the library `libraries/gmp-4.3.1/libgmp.la'
or unhandled argument `libraries/gmp-4.3.1/libgmp.la'

The library name I was using was"added libraries".

When I moved the distro out into a one named without spaces - it worked.  ??

I am relieved to be able to move on and start using the libraries.

Thank you so much for your help!
