openSUSE 13.2 build problems with dtksh ('iffe not found')

[Douglas Carmichael]

I was able to build CDE from the git repository, but building dtksh gave me these errors:

make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/dcarmich/cdesktopenv-code/cde/programs/dtscreen'

Then the build hung.

What could cause this?
