As I said I wasn't sure.

You see exactly what I see at the end of the configure there is no Makefile.

It appears to be as running by hand just produces:

creating tests/atconfig

No makefiles so this doesn't do much good.

See previous comment :)

Sorry I may seem not to be responding to your questions but I am not aware at

Looking at the output of sh -x ./config.status it appears the problem is that
only test/atconfig is processed.  I will try and see if I can find out why.
