Troubles with gnome-libs-0.99.4

[Sergey Zhumatiy <serg vvv srcc msu su>]

   Hello!

   I had download gnome sources (tar.gz). But when I tryed to configure
gnome-libs-0.99.4, I've got empty Makefiles!
   There was some lines like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
creating Makefile
sed: file conftest.s2 line 49: Unterminated `s' command
./config.status: line 1: 26357 Broken pipe             sed -f
conftest.s1
     26358 Done(1)                 | sed -f conftest.s2
./config.status: line 332: 26355 Broken pipe             sed -e
"$ac_comsub
s%@configure_input@%$configure_input%g
s%@srcdir@%$srcdir%g
s%@top_srcdir@%$top_srcdir%g
s%@INSTALL@%$INSTALL%g
" $ac_file_inputs
     26356 Done(1)                 | ( eval "$ac_sed_cmds" )>$ac_file
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

   What's wrong? Is the 'configure' script broken?

                                                       Serg.
