This is the last command of the configure script so it *did* finish.

This isn't an error.  But, it it stopped here it would be an error.  The 
next lines should be:

	Please remove the file config.cache after changing your setup
	so that configure will find the changes next time.

And then you should get the prompt back.

You don't need to, it is automatic.  That isn't the problem.

I am sure there used to be although I could be mistaken. The

NO.

I thought it might just be a warning but when I tried

That is the problem.  What happened when your ran make?  Please post the 
error messages from that.
