This should be fixed in the current CVS.  Try updating, then running
autogen.sh and configure again, then if it still fails, send me mail.

| Any ideas?

Configure should have found that the standard string class defines
npos as a member object, so it should have defined NPOS as
std::string::npos.  Can you please debug why this doesn't happen on
your system?  Check config.log and look for messages related to npos.
