Btw, running ``./configure'' yields configure: creating ./config.status ./config.status: syntax error at line 1063: `end of file' unexpected before printing the configuration. That doesn't look normal. The file has 1062 lines and the end looks like # # CONFIG_COMMANDS section. # for ac_file in : $CONFIG_COMMANDS; do test "x$ac_file" = x: && continue ac_dest=`echo "$ac_file" | sed 's,:.*,,'` ac_source=`echo "$ac_file" | sed 's,[^:]*:,,'` case $ac_dest in default ) \ test -z "$CONFIG_HEADERS" || echo > stamp-h ;; esac done { (exit 0); exit 0; } As a result, some other files aren't being generated (e.g. the Makefile).
