Topic: "./configure" producing 0-length Makefile?

When trying to configure automake 1.5, the script generates a series of sed errors, and leaves most of the files it's supposed to generate at 0-length:

code:

creating Makefile
sed: 34: conftest.s1: unescaped newline inside substitute pattern
creating lib/Makefile
sed: 34: conftest.s1: unescaped newline inside substitute pattern

Has anyone run into this before? Any ideas? I can't even locate the "conftest.s1" file it's referring to.

Nevermind, user ineptitude was to blame. I must have done something stupid to the 'pre-make' script I use, as fiddling with it eventually caused the errors to disappear.
