Removing Hal solves the problems but the posting "re Fedora vs RH9"
by Jeffrey Pawlan which you can read below suggests it is not a
good idea.

Nice simple distributions like RedHat 9 or Mandrake 8.0 are
excellent for Linrad.

In order to disable Hal properly I need help to use
autoconf/configure to find out if the target system
uses Hal to enable/disable some code within Linrad
to take care of Hal.

As long as the Hal disable feature is missing it is better
to avoid distributions that contain Hal.
