Did you have to give 'configure' any paths which contain a space?
Mac OS X Leopard comes with emacs 22.1.1, so you can avoid specifying
--with-emacs and hence the space contained in the the path to the Aquamacs
executable. Alas, in my case, I use BBDB together with VM and the path
for --with-vm does contain a space (~/Library/Application Support/...).
When I supply this path to 'configure' it generates a broken Makefile.
Does your system behave any better?
Cheers, José
