Can't compile CVS checkout...

GRASS GRASS user

I'm having trouble compiling a current CVS checkout of grass5 beta 6. I
may be missing something since I'm new to using CVS. I followed the
directions on the grass CVS page, and ran "cvs update" a couple times to
make sure I got everything. Anyway, I do './configure' then
'make install' and the script just hangs. Here's what I see:

[BEGIN]

env UNIX_BIN=/usr/local/bin SRC=`pwd` GISBASE=/usr/local/grass5.0 MACHINENAME=`uname -n` /bin/sh src/CMD/generic/CREATE_GMAKE.sh
mkdir -p -m 755 /usr/local/grass5.0
/bin/sh `pwd`/src/CMD/generic/is64bit.sh
if [ ! -d src/CMD/next_step ]; then mkdir src/CMD/next_step ; fi
env GRASSSRC=`pwd`/src GMAKE=`pwd`/src/CMD/gmake5.0 /bin/sh src/CMD/generic/GISGEN.sh
GISBASE=/usr/local/grass5.0
SRC=/home/felix/gis.d/grass_cvs/grass/src
CMD=/home/felix/gis.d/grass_cvs/grass/src/CMD
HEADER=head
ARCH=i686-linux-elf

HEADER = head
ARCH = i686-linux-elf

[END]

It just hangs there doing nothing. What am I missing?

Found the problem in compilation. The create_fifo.sh script was hanging
on the "touch" command. I presume this is a bug with my copy of touch.
I just commented out the two touch line, an voila.
