Check the output of ps when it hangs. I think Configure.pl might be trying to run SVK, which is apparently included with 10.5.2, and if you've never used SVK, it asks you to set it up and waits for some input, which you can't see. I've had the same problem, it can be worked around by running "svk info" and answering its question. But in general, I don't think it's right to make people do that just because they have SVK installed.

Friends,
Did this error persist with Parrot 5.3 on ppc/OS X 10.5.1?

Unfortunately for testing, I'm now at 10.5.2. Here are the results of my testing:

Configure.pl hung after printing:

Determining whether (exuberant) ctags is installed......................no.

ctrl-c seemed to allow it to recover and it completed.

Ran make and got:

8:02am brandt1{~/src/parrot-0.5.3}->make
Compiling with:
xx.c
cc -I./include -arch i386 -arch ppc ....(trimmed output)

I think the dual arch commands was related to the problem?

The make then runs for a while and finally errors with:

...
src/string.c
src/ops/core_ops.c
{standard input}:83607:no such instruction: `trap'
lipo: can't open input file: /var/folders/q9/q9-d7-2c2RWnx++8ZMUMCU++ +TI/-Tmp-//ccgEzKWc.out (No such file or directory)
make: *** [src/ops/core_ops.o] Error 1

I can provide the full output, if desired.

If there are some recommended configure flags, I can try that too. I didn't see anything in the docs.
