Thanks, Judd. Ja - same result - choking on:
3300: echo "$as_me:$LINENO: checking for a BSD-compatible install" >&5

Which gives the following output:
checking for library containing strerror... none required
./configure: line 3300: syntax error near unexpected token `echo'
./configure: line 3300: `echo "$as_me:$LINENO: checking for a BSD-compatible 
install" >&5'
++ exit 1

Here are a few lines above the offending one in the generated "configure" 
script:
...
  test "$ac_cv_search_strerror" = "none required" || 
LIBS="$ac_cv_search_strerror $LIBS"

fi

AC_PROG_INTLTOOL()
# Find a good install program.  We prefer a C program (faster),
# so one script is as good as another.  But avoid the broken or
# incompatible versions:
# SysV /etc/install, /usr/sbin/install
# SunOS /usr/etc/install
# IRIX /sbin/install
# AIX /bin/install
# AmigaOS /C/install, which installs bootblocks on floppy discs
# AIX 4 /usr/bin/installbsd, which doesn't work without a -g flag
# AFS /usr/afsws/bin/install, which mishandles nonexistent args
# SVR4 /usr/ucb/install, which tries to use the nonexistent group "staff"
# OS/2's system install, which has a completely different semantic
# ./install, which can be erroneously created by make from ./install.sh.
3300: echo "$as_me:$LINENO: checking for a BSD-compatible install" >&5
echo $ECHO_N "checking for a BSD-compatible install... $ECHO_C" >&6

sh-3.00$

This is the first package I've tried to build without a prebuilt "configure" 
so I can't say whether it's a problem on my installation. Perhaps I'll try 
checking out an earlier version of JPilot, or some other CVS code, to check 
it out.
