^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You need to install the sprng library first, and do it in such a way that
configure for rsprng finds. There are some daemons lurking there -- if it
helps, I also packaged both sprng and rsprng for Debian and you could look at
the package sources via any Debian mirror. But then your task is harder
anyway as you are wrestling with a real Unix flavour and its bugs^Hfeatures.
