*Don't* do make install.  *Don't* do sudo make.  If you are on a
Debian based system, Ubuntu, etc., build the the deb package.  If you
are on some other Linux, build the rpm package.

I just built on 2 different 64-bit Debian systems a couple of days
ago.  It worked fine.

Plus Jean-Louis is is sort of right, why are you creating tmp and
trying to configure from there?

Here is how you should build on a 64-bit Ubuntu, assuming a fresh
check out and no ooRexx yet installed:

# whomami
miesfeld
# svn co https://oorexx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/oorexx/main/trunk main
# cd main
# ./bootstrap
# ./configure --disable-static
# make
# make deb
# cd ..
# su root
# dpkg -i oorexx_4.1.0-6128_amd64.deb

I just did that, it worked fine on Kubuntu 10.04 64-bit.  Took less
than 10 minutes, including the time spent rebooting in the Kubuntu
partition.

If, there is already an ooRexx installed, the last two step should be these 3:

# su root
# dpkg -P ooRexx
# dpgk -i ooRexx

If you already have trunk checked out, and want to be sure you have a
good build, the first step(s) should be:

# cd main
# make maintainer-clean
# svn update
# ./bootstrap
# ...

I just redid the build using the steps directly above, worked fine,
took less than 4 minutes.
