The idea is that ./run -s sets everything up.

What kind of Linux is this?  I have been able to personally get calendar server working on the last 3 versions of Ubuntu or so, as well as Red Hat derivatives, by just doing ./run.

My guess is that this is a problem with build.sh's c_dependency function; it currently hard-codes ${dstroot}/lib, and it looks like your configuration is producing ${dstroot}/lib64 instead.  If you try patching that file, does your build succeed?

Thanks, and good luck,
