Hello again,

ok, I tested it with the development tree:
$ hg tip
changeset:   438:8e93be50e66f

It failed at exactly the same spot, during compiling theora. I'm going 
to attach the log, it's 62kbytes, I hope it's ok :)

On line number 470 it's finished with configure and then starts make 
(install) on line 498. As you can see, it has successfully compiled the 
core theora components, but at some point it wants to compile API 
documentation and stuff, line 758, it makes the pdf files. So far so 
good, but on lines 777 and 778 it compiles a vp3huff binary and then 
tries to execute it, passing a .tex as an argument (probably another 
phase of Documentation building).

What mostly impresses me is that I'm the first (and only) one to report 
this :) Perhaps configure detects "more than it needs" on my distro ? I 
can see it finds doxygen, all tex related tools, etc etc. I guess if I 
removed all those tools and configure would not locate them, then it 
wouldn't build documentation at all and perhaps this error wouldn't 
occur (?)

That's an interesting point to compare with your successful build. I 
think on my system it tries to compile theora with all "features" (on 
lines 470 - 479 it's a "yes" for every possible configured thing).
