Description:        make looping
Details:

I have a problem compiling the source code. "./configure" works fine. Then I
run "make" and it just keeps looping and looping on the "checking for "
section. This is where it starts to loop:

checking for collateindex.pl... /usr/bin/collateindex.pl
checking for sgmlspl... sgmlspl
configure: creating ./config.status
cd . && ./config.status src/Makefile.global
config.status: creating src/Makefile.global
./config.status GNUmakefile
config.status: creating GNUmakefile
cd . && ./config.status --recheck
running /bin/sh ./configure   --no-create --no-recursion
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking which template to use... linux

Thank You,
