Re: Problem configuring acl 2.2.28

I took a tarball of the 2.2.28 version of the acl libraries and ran 
configure. It seems that the configure script is using a testing mechanism 
which is not generating a valid path for gmake.

Here's the relevant part from my config.log
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  $ ./configure

In the configure script itself:

        # Extract the first word of "gmake", so it can be a program name 
with args.
set dummy gmake; ac_word=$2
echo "$as_me:$LINENO: checking for $ac_word" >&5
echo $ECHO_N "checking for $ac_word... $ECHO_C" >&6
if test "${ac_cv_path_MAKE+set}" = set; then
  echo $ECHO_N "(cached) $ECHO_C" >&6
else
  case $MAKE in
  [\\/]* | ?:[\\/]*)
  ac_cv_path_MAKE="$MAKE" # Let the user override the test with a path.
  ;;
  *)
  as_save_IFS=$IFS; IFS=$PATH_SEPARATOR
as_dummy="/usr/bin:/usr/freeware/bin"
for as_dir in $as_dummy
do
  IFS=$as_save_IFS
  test -z "$as_dir" && as_dir=.
  for ac_exec_ext in '' $ac_executable_extensions; do
  if $as_executable_p "$as_dir/$ac_word$ac_exec_ext"; then
    ac_cv_path_MAKE="$as_dir/$ac_word$ac_exec_ext"
    echo "$as_me:$LINENO: found $as_dir/$ac_word$ac_exec_ext" >&5
    break 2
  fi
done
done

My guess is either you have bad source (the configure script is bad) or that 
your make is not in the $PATH seen by the configure script.
