I was having difficulty compiling 5.2b1 (due to HDF5 problems) so I am 
attempting to install Scilab 4.1.2 but I am running into a strange issue.

$ cd ~/Downloads/scilab-4.1.2
$ PREFIX=/common/local
$ ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX \
--with-gcc --with-gfortran \
--with-fftw-include=$PREFIX/include \
--with-fftw-library=$PREFIX/lib \
--with-blas-library=$PREFIX/lib \
--with-lapack-library=$PREFIX/lib \
--with-x \
CC=/common/local/bin/gcc F77=/common/local/bin/gfortran

[...]

$ make all
[...]
Makefile:24: Makefile.darwin: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.darwin'. Stop.

Even if I supply $SCILABDIR/config/Makefile.darwin I still have problems:

make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make: *** No rule to make target `all1', needed by `all'. Stop.

I cannot seem to resolve this issue. Do you have any advice for 
completing the compilation?
