The file "config.log" contained the following:

    This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
    running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

    It was created by LDM configure 6.9.7, which was
    generated by GNU Autoconf 2.63.  Invocation command line was

      $ ./configure ...

The argument "..." caused the problem. That string (three periods) is a common 
western idiom that indicates that something else (perhaps nothing) should go 
where the string is: the three periods are not meant to be literally used.

If you don't need any of the configure(1) script options, then you should 
invoke the configure(1) without any arguments. For example

    $ ./configure >/configure.log 2>&1

or

    $ ./configure >&! configure.log

depending on your user-shell (sh(1)-like or csh(1)-like).

Sorry for the confusion.
