I have added the following packages:

drwxr-xr-x 4 root other 512 Apr 1 14:29 SMCflex
drwxr-xr-x 4 root other 512 Apr 1 14:29 SMCgtext
drwxr-xr-x 4 root other 512 Apr 1 14:28 SMCmake
drwxr-xr-x 4 root other 512 Apr 1 14:28 SMCbison
drwxr-xr-x 4 root other 512 Apr 1 14:28 SMCgcc
drwxr-xr-x 4 root other 512 Apr 1 14:28 SMCreadl

made a link to the /usr/local/bin/make that I installed to point to gmake
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 4 Apr 1 11:29 /usr/local/bin/gmake
-> make

trying to run ./configure with no additional options
