Starting from scratch now, yields the following similar but different

did a fresh tar -xvf and then a fresh ./configure. My path is:

-bash-3.00# echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:usr/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin

!! Missing slash before "usr".

  /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin

I see two gmakes on my machine:

-bash-3.00# ls -hal /usr/sfw/bin/gmake
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     bin         150K Jan 22  2005 /usr/sfw/bin/gmake
-bash-3.00# ls -hal /opt/sfw/bin/gmake
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     bin         150K Jan  5  2005 /opt/sfw/bin/gmake

I use the slightly more recent one in sfw, I assume.

And although /usr/sfw/bin is in my $PATH, I cannot just "gmake". I have

to type "/usr/sfw/bin/gmake". Is this a problem?

Yes, due to the missing slash.
