Error in libfetish.a

[John D. Ballentine III]

Disclaimer - I am not a programmer, just a system admin...

I have downloaded the coreutils 5.0 package, and I am trying to compile it
on a HP-UX 10.20 system.  Specifically, I am trying to get the "tail"
utility, but it doesn't make any difference if I just try and compile it or
the whole package.   Here is the output I am getting:

 make tail
        source='tail.c' object='tail.o' libtool=no \
        depfile='.deps/tail.Po' tmpdepfile='.deps/tail.TPo' \
        depmode=gcc /bin/sh ../config/depcomp \
        gcc -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\"
-DSHAREDIR=\"/usr/local/share\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I.. -I.. -I..
-I../lib -I../lib     -g -O2 -c `test -f 'tail.c' || echo '../'`tail.c
Make: Don't know how to make ../lib/libfetish.a.  Stop.


Help?
