You probably forget to run 'autoconf'. I can see nice messages like: $ autoconf ... $ ./configure ... $ make depend ... $ make ... CC extrachunk.o CC factory.o CC getframe.o CC icmstream.o CC regsvr.o CC tmpfile.o
I get the following (on Slackware 11) while running the make depend portion of ./configure && make depend && make && sudo make install:
