Did you specify all 3 locking mechanisms (dot, flock, and fctrl or 
something similar) in the configure program?  Try only specifying the 
first two - using all 3 causes conflicts.

Also, you should upgrade to PL24 or maybe even one of the PL24 mutants.   
I recommend ELM 2.4 PL24 ME7a - it adds integrated PGP and MIME support, 
as well as a few new features and bugfixes.  You can pick ME7a up at:
