Configure and compile problems

[Anthony Stone <ajs1 cam ac uk>]

I would appreciate a few pointers if anyone can see what I am doing
wrong here. Apologies if these are well-known problems, but I have
looked in the list archive and not found anything relevant.

I am trying to install gnumeric-0.43 under Solaris, but configure
produces the following errors:

creating graph/Makefile
sed: can't read ./graph/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
creating wizards/Makefile
sed: can't read ./wizards/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
creating wizards/graphics/Makefile
sed: can't read ./wizards/graphics/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
...
creating doc/es/Makefile
sed: can't read ./doc/es/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
creating corba-test/Makefile
sed: can't read ./corba-test/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
...
creating plugins/perl/Makefile
sed: can't read ./plugins/perl/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
creating plugins/perl/ext/Makefile.PL
sed: can't read ./plugins/perl/ext/Makefile.PL.in: No such file or directory

The directories in question are readable but the Makefile.in are
indeed missing.

If I `make' anyway I get lots of gcc errors, starting with the
following (lines broken for clarity):

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../src \
   -DGNOMELOCALEDIR=\"/opt/local/gnu/share/locale\" \
   -I/opt/local/gnu/include -I/opt/local/gnu/include \
   -DNEED_GNOMESUPPORT_H -I/opt/local/gnu/lib/gnome-libs/include \
   -I/opt/local/gnu/lib/glib/include -I/opt/local/include \

   -I/opt/local/gnu/lib/glib/include -I/opt/local/gnu/include \

                 from /opt/local/gnu/include/gtk/gtk.h:31,

                 from plugin-sample.c:7:

[etc]

I have also installed, I think successfully, the following
prerequisites, using prefix=/opt/local/gnu in each case:

db-2.7.7
ORBit-0.5.0
libxml-1.7.3
gettext-0.10.35
libglade-0.8
imlib-1.9.7
gnome-libs-1.0.54
gnome-print-0.9
glib-1.2.6
gtk+-1.2.6
