I mean this:

 ~$ export MAKE=gmake

(or setenv MAKE gmake)

 ~/lr-20001211$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/logreport \
    --sysconfdir=$HOME/logreport/etc/logreport \      
    --libexecdir=$HOME/logreport/lib/logreport  

Works for me (tm). It could be this fails in cases where gmake is
not in the user's PATH. It might indeed help to supply the full
path in the MAKE variable (or tweaking the PATH).

I guess you're right. Anton might find this interesting, Cc-ed him.

Well, OT, I am a Debian developer; packaging the LogReport software for
Debian is high on my wishlist. The software first needs some maturing 
now, imho.
  However, we're getting more and more attention and bug reports: things
are speeding up now.

A! I find it very interesting myself too. Haven't got time to look at
it yet. I definately should try Darwin once...
