Check the output of ps when it hangs. I think Configure.pl might be trying to run SVK, which is apparently included with 10.5.2, and if you've never used SVK, it asks you to set it up and waits for some input, which you can't see. I've had the same problem, it can be worked around by running "svk info" and answering its question. But in general, I don't think it's right to make people do that just because they have SVK installed.
Yep, that was it. This fixes the hanging Configure script. Same error on the make. Thanks for the tip.
