Word of caution: Anti-virus software can cause ill results during the
configure process if it is opening files as they are being created to
scan them.  You should tell the anti-virus software to ignore your
work directory.  I myself have a NAT disk that I tell my anti-virus to
not scan that disk during the automated scan.

It doesn't matter which OS, the anti-virus is a bad thing for
configure and make.
