Hello

I have been trying to install dolfin (and the rest) on my MacOSX 10.4 
machine. Everything else seems to work - including compiling and 
installing mpich and petsc - but when running configure for dolfin I get 
this:
[all goes well, until] 
checking for configarch... yes
make: *** No rule to make target `getincludedirs'.  Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target `getlinklibs'.  Stop.
checking for mpirun... yes
./configure: line 20136: test: too many arguments
checking for xml2-config... yes
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
sed: file ./confstatYgt62D/subs-3.sed line 27: unterminated `s' command
config.status: creating src/Makefile
sed: file ./confstatYgt62D/subs-3.sed line 27: unterminated `s' command
config.status: creating src/pre/Makefile
sed: file ./confstatYgt62D/subs-3.sed line 27: unterminated `s' command
[these go on for quite a bit after which configure claims success]

As a result I end up with an empty makefile. At first I was using the 
standard sed and make versions from Apple, but changed them to the GNU 
versions as I found a fix for a similar problem on the net saying, that 
this should help. However, only the type of sed error changed from 
"unescaped newline" to the one you see above.

I would greatly appreciate any thoughts or help you can provide.
