PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Running wml under a normal useraccount doesnīt reads .wmlrc
files. Running under the root-account works as expected. I have
compared the strace output running under the two accounts but canīt
figure out what problem occours at the point the two logs differ. 

Also it wasnīt possible to compile (not make install of course) wml
under a user account, it fails to compile Readkey and getoptlong 

I am running wml under a Debian slink (2.1) Linux distribution.
I am not shure if this is a bug or a missconfiguration here, but
debian is a common plattform for webdesign so I like to notice.

There is also an error while "make test", which I canīt figure out.
