Problems compiling on MacOS X

[Bryan Gibbon]

Hello,
I am having trouble getting any recent version of EMBOSS to compile on MacOS
X.2.6 (no problem for me on redhat). I am using the Dec 2002 developer tools
package. I have also tried downloading and installing the most recent
versions of GNU make and m4 as suggested on the EMBOSS website. The error
occurs when the ajax libraries begin to be compiled but I am not familiar
enough with configure/make/gcc to figure out what is going on. Below are the
commands that I used to try building after the make and m4 installation and
the output just prior to the error:

make distclean
./configure
make
