I didn't see any error in ./configure (anybody else saw something?).
Apparently it didn't like make because there is no makefile (or Makefile).

./configure

should create all the compilation scripts based on your hardware and libraries.

make

uses makefile (or Makefile) to compile.

make install

place the executable into your $PATH.
Bottom line: There has to be an error in the ./configure section
because it didn't create the makefile.

Update: I tried to install gnomesword and got the same error!
Another possibility, gnomesword people messed up?!?

What distro are your using?

I was able to use apt-get because my Xandros distro is debian-based.
[no installation error, but I can't find it - still looking.]

If DEB-based, try using

apt-get install gnomesword

If RPM based, try install one of the RPM and use the "rpm -i" command.

Anybody else installed gnomesword successfully?
