All of those except NVIZ and d.text.freetype use the projection
library (src/libes/proj), so I suspect that is to blame for most of
them.

NVIZ uses a lot of external libraries, but OpenGL and Tcl/Tk are the
ones most likely to be responsible.

The d.text.freetype problem is probably related to FreeType.

It's impossible to determine anything more specific without seeing the
actual error messages from the output from "make". If you didn't
capture it, run "make" again and capture the output, e.g.

	make >& build.log

Don't send the entire file to the list, but try to extract the
relevant portions (i.e. the relevant commands and the resulting error
messages). For the proj issue, you should only need to locate one
example; the others are likely to have the same problem.

BTW, I don't think that I can discuss this with you off-list; previous
messages sent to your address have been bounced:
