automake configure script hangs on OSF1...

[Ed Hartnett]

Howdy all!

I am trying to install automake and an OSF1 system. I just installed
autoconf, but the automake configure hangs looking for it...

% cd ~/downloads/automake-1.9.5
% make distclean
make: *** No rule to make target `distclean'.  Stop.
% ./configure --prefix=/home/ed/local/dana && make install
checking build system type... alphaev67-dec-osf5.1b
checking for a BSD-compatible install... lib/install-sh -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... nawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for tex... no
checking whether autoconf is installed... yes
checking whether autoconf works... 

And there it sits, until I kill it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Ed
