Hi, I finally found the following page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/NSS_reference/Building_and_installing_NSS/Sample_manual_installation which let me to a new configure statement: ./configure \ --with-nss-inc=/usr/src/mozilla/dist/public/nss/ \ --with-nss-lib=/usr/src/mozilla/dist/Linux2.6_x86_glibc_PTH_OPT.OBJ/lib/ \ --with-nspr-inc=/usr/src/mozilla/dist/Linux2.6_x86_glibc_PTH_OPT.OBJ/include/ --with-nspr-lib=/usr/src/mozilla/dist/Linux2.6_x86_glibc_PTH_OPT.OBJ/lib/ No errors anymore.
