This is only going to happen if your dns isn't set up correctly. What
does the following print?
% python -c "from socket import * ; print getfqdn()"
You should see a hostname (preferrably fully-qualified). If you see
an exception, or some bogus value, check your /etc/hosts file, or dns
setup.

Right. Configure isn't finding the right hostname information so it
isn't creating the Makefile. That's a good thing. ;)
You can always run configure --with-mailhost and/or --with-urlhost,
but if they aren't correct, the install might succeed but you'll
likely still have problems.
