[Dovecot] dovecot-lda: problems compiling

I am trying to compile the dovecot lda and running into some problems. (compiling most recent version on Fedora core 4).

I was able to compile the dovecot imap server just fine. However .. when I try to run configure in the lda package (after running autogen) it gets stuck on this line :

• eval 'sed -f ./confstatm19105/subs-1.sed | sed -f ./confstatm19105/subs-2.sed | sed -f ./confstatm19105/subs-3.sed' ++ sed -f ./confstatm19105/subs-1.sed ++ sed -f ./confstatm19105/subs-2.sed ++ sed -f ./confstatm19105/subs-3.sed

Basically it is getting stuck on the sed portion in config.status.

Anyone run into this problem before ?
