The configure script was created by autoconf, so it doesn't sound like the 
correct thing to do.... however, I've just tried running through exactly 
the same process again and get a different error, so the error above may 
well be a red herring. This time I'm consistantly getting:-

 
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr/test
CONFIGURE.: creating cache /dev/null
.\CONFIGURE.[1003]: syntax error: `esac' unexpected
+ make


I can't see why this should be in uppercase with '\' instead of '/' but 
this is at a later point than than the original error. Maybe a reboot is 
in order...
