OK , I fixed most of the anomalies by taking it from the top with make clean and a little manual clean up.
debugging and scope to not seem to be included is "all-plugins", the reason it worked was because it was not building them. If I add them , I get the VTE problem again. The vte lib is in /usr/lib64 but that does not help: ```
export VTE_LIBS=/usr/lib64;./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-scope --enable-debugger ..... checking for VTE... no ```
