Still a no go, went back through and did make clean (or jam clean) on all the directories, then started from scratch, after doing the ./configure on CS, I apt-get\'d all the libs and dev packages i was missing, then ran ./configure again so that it had *everything* it needed.  Then I did the entire CS step and made sure to copy cs-config to the $CEL directory.  Then I went to cel and did the configure and made sure I had everything - which I did.  I did the steps for that too and when running Jam it failed 11 targets, and skipped 9, updated 42.  So then I move on  to planeshift since I have no clue why jam would have failed on cel for so many targets considering i had everything needed as far as i could tell.

On planeshift, the jam gave even more problems:
LinkApplication updater
...failed updating 57 target(s)...
...skipped 10 target(s)...
...updated 92 target(s)...

And now i don\'t even HAVE a ./psclient file in the planeshift directory so I have no executable to run at all

So basically, I have all the libs/etc I should need to compile everything but everything seems to fail.  Any other ideas?
