[ASK] unterminated call to function `shell': missing??

Hi,

I tried to install vmfs-tools from tar.gz in SLES 10. When ./configure I got this error:

bind:~/vmfs-tools-0.2.1 # ./configure
Checking for pkg-config...yes
Checking for uuid...yes
Checking for fuse...no
Checking for asciidoc...no
Checking for xsltproc...yes
Checking for docbook.xsl...no
Checking for strndup...yes
Checking for dlopen in -ldl...yes
Checking for posix_memalign...yes
configure.mk:33: *** unterminated call to function `shell': missing `)'. Stop.
gmake: *** [config.cache] Error 2

Any solution?

Regards,

Sounds like there's a typo in one of the source files to me... I would start by looking through the configure script for mismatched parentheses, but if that fails then maybe a recursive grep through all the source files for the word 'shell' might bring things up. If that all fails, provide a download link to the exact same tar.gz file you downloaded and I'll try to work out what's going wrong
