Python on Minix

[sthaiyar at imap2.asu.edu]

hi all,
	i am trying to install python1.5.2
on minix. however, when i run './configure',
i get lots of:

checking (some file) ...here file: not found
grep: bad regular expression

I am assuming here that these messages arent
supposed to show up. BTW, i am running Minix
of a 486 IBM Thinkpad.
I read the README file and saw for Minix
when using ack, "CC=cc AR=aal RANLIB=: ./configure",
so i typed './configure CC=cc AR=aal RANLIB=:'  (is this right???)
and got the same results as above. i even tried
'make' a "make: dont know how to make @srcdir@/configure".
any pointers???
