It seems that I found the reason for this. I recently updated the Linux
distribution on one of the two machines the above compilation had 
failed. I tried the installation there again and it succeeded! Checking 
the packages reveals a newer version of the "autoconf" package: 2.12 
while on the other machine there is 2.10. I installed autoconf-2.12 on 
that machine as well and now the compilation works!

This just for your information. 


Best,

Joerg
