  Uhm.. I am not sure what you mean? Before you hit make install nothing
should be put in your system dirs. ./configure should just create a
bunch of makefiles and config.h and such.

  There you go. 'ed' is missing on your system. This is a somewhat basic
editor, a good description for installation is here:
http://mirror.vtx.ch/lfs/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/ed.html

  But Mandrake should also offer it via it's package management.

  I ran into that problem once too and installing ed did the trick. I
don't know though, if there is something else wrong, but the missing
'ed' for sure is a problem :-)


  Cheers,
