Thanks, fixed now.

There seems to be several problems here. First, it seems that before
you ran make, you already had automatically generated files like
lsh.c.x lying around (if not, you would have got compilation errors
from the first make), but you didn't have the corresponding dependency
files, like .deps/lsh.Po (if you did have that, make should have tried
to rebuild the lsh.c.x file the first time you ran make).

Right, you must have guile or scsh installed. The configure script
looks for them. So there might be a configure bug, check config.log to
see what happened.

And at last, the recommended way to build lsh from cvs is to check out
the source, then write

  ./.bootstrap && configure --your-favourite-flags && make bootstrap
  make

The first line makes sure that you have all the automatically
generated files which are included in the lsh distributions, but not
in CVS. The second line compiles the source, and creates 
dependency files which are used the next time you run make.
