I traced my problem with configure further down to the basename call in line 
58. It does not come back. I am not sure whether /bin/sh has a builtin 
basename or it is using the external /usr/bin/basename. The later is working 
fine at my bash prompt.

Changing /bin/sh to /bin/bash at the start of the configure script gets me 
slightly further. I now get the following output:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... ./configure: fork: Resource temporarily 
unavailable

and here again make seems to hang ...

I am going to try it without configure and make ... :-(
