I was installing ddrescue 1.29 on a clean install of Mac Monterey. I had
installed Xcode and the command line tools.
I extracted the ddrescue tar file into ~/Downloads/ddrescue/ddrescue-1.29
The config file seems to fail on line 148 which is:
cat > config.status << EOF
I tried executing that command manually, and it worked.
Any ideas?
David
PS I have installed and run earlier versions of ddrescue many times on
earlier versions of OS X.

OK. Now you can run make.
