sqlite3 3.6.4 configure error - failure to find $NAWK

[tla@…]

I have had sqlite3 fail to build on two different systems now (both Intel Macs running Leopard) with the following error:

Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/very/long/dirname/work/sqlite-3.6.4" && gnumake all " returned error 2
Command output: sed -e s/--VERS--/3.6.4/ ./src/sqlite.h.in | \

Look at it, the culprit seemed in both cases to be an empty NAWK in the Makefile. When I go to the build directory and re-run ./configure, NAWK is populated correctly. I can then run 'make clean && make' in the normal way.

After this is done, in both cases I returned to my original 'port install' command to continue installation of whatever depended on sqlite3. I got the following warning, which I include just in case it signifies something other than "I had to go fix the build manually":

Don't run ./configure manually! You are missing important arguments, which control where stuff gets installed. Now it did install stuff outside of your prefix (/opt/local by default). Reinstall sqlite3 to fix this or other ports using sqlite3 will fail or build incorrectly.

The real problem and answer is given here: LeopardProblems

Aha! Thanks for the pointer.
