hi,
     i found out the source of for the failure for the packages i am trying to build. 

all these problems cropped up after the apt-get upgrade to the unstable tree. 
prior to the upgrade i had compiled all these packages. then my m/c crashed i had to 
reinstall. so i thought i would upgrade and then build the packages. this is the 
result.


when i tried ./configure for kdesupport-2.1 package the following error occured.


<snip>
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... (cached) yes
./configure: cd: admin: No such file or directory
checking for working aclocal... found
checking for working autoconf... found
</snip>


when i tried make clean for kdesupport then this error occured

/bin/sh: cd: audiofile: No such file or directory
make: *** [clean-recursive] Error 1


when i tried  compiling qt-2.2.4 then this was the error.

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/qt-2.2.4'
/bin/sh: cd: include: No such file or directory  /* note error */ 
cd src/moc; make
/bin/sh: cd: src/moc: No such file or directory
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/qt-2.2.4'
^C
make[2]: *** [init] Interrupt
make[1]: *** [src-moc] Interrupt
make: *** [init] Interrupt

when i tried to build XFree86-4.0.2 then this was the error.


make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/work/xc'
making Makefiles in include...
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/work/xc'
/bin/sh: cd: include: No such file or directory     /* note error */

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/work/xc/include'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `clean'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/work/xc/include'
make[1]: *** [clean] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/work/xc'
make: *** [World] Error 2

the common error /bin/sh: cd ... No such file or directory.

by the way all those direc do exist. 

would really appreciate help
