I've got an older FreeBSD 6.1 install that will no longer allow me to build
any software distributions. Any time I try to do a 'configure', the
configure seems to run fine, then I get a "config.status: error: cannot find
input file:". This has happened on several packages from several different
sources.

 

Any ideas as to what could be causing this? Is one of my binaries make
corrupted possibly?

 

Thanks!
