LFS Chapter 6.20 Ncurses install error - installation

I've been going step by step until midnight, then I turned off the Laptop (Standby) - i've Ubuntu 14.04 LTS as OS. When I woke up I wanted to continue, so I started my laptop again, but the screen kept black. I shut it down, and started it.
I had to mount everything, so I executed this:
# mount -v -t ext4 /dev/sda3 $LFS
# rm /tools
# ln -sv $LFS/tools /
# chroot "$LFS" /tools/bin/env -i \
HOME=/root \
TERM="$TERM" \
PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin \
/tools/bin/bash --login +h
When I enter to /source/ncurses-5.9/ and execute ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-shared --without-debug --enable-pc-files --enable-widec it gives me back:

./configure: line 21016: 27277 Segmentation fault (core dumped) ${MAKE:-make} preinstall
And when I try to run make, it just says:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
How can I fix that? Or do you need more information?

From the information, no it is not possible to answer the question.
At that point, the configure script simply runs "make" with a rule that runs a series of echo commands. There are no other programs involved than sh, make and echo (which you can see by viewing the generated Makefile and looking for preinstall. You should have seen this:

Whatever problem is there, appears unrelated to ncurses.
I would be tempted to restart the install, supposing that something went amiss when suspending and resuming.

Problems installing Repast HPC 2.3.1 on MacOS

Updated:
I am trying to install repast hpc 2.3.1 on my MacBook Pro with M1 processor, however I run into the following issue. I am following the Install.txt instructions included in the package. The issue now occurs when I try to use ./install rhpc I get the following errors, which seem to stem from the GridComponents.o file failing to find the DBL_MAX variable and marking it as undeclared:

make: *** [src/repast_hpc/GridComponents.o] Error 1
I've outlined all the required fixes (including the DBL_MAX fix) here: https://github.com/Repast/repast.hpc/issues/7. With those in place, the zombies and rumor demo models work on macOS on an M1 Max laptop.
All that said, and as an aside, we typically do our repast hpc and repast4py development work on a Linux VM running under Parallels or VMWare Fusion on a Mac. This is because that more closely matches the cluster or HPC environments we ultimately run the models on.

Why is there this error "configure: error: check config."?

Integration of ns-2.35 and EvalVid 2.7

I use ubuntu 14.04 and i am trying to integrate evalvid 2.7 and ns2.35. I added necessary files like: myevalvid.cc, myudp.cc, myudp.h, myevalvid_sink.cc, myevalvid_sink.h . And inside the Makefile.in i have put myevalvid/myudp.o, myevalvid/myevalvid_sink.o and myevalvid/myevalvid.o in the OBJ_CC list.
But the problem is, when i enter the ./configure command, i get this error from the console referring to the tcl program:

configure: error: Installation of tcl seems incomplete or can't be found automatically.
Please correct the problem by telling configure where tcl is
using the argument --with-tcl=/path/to/package
(perhaps after installing it),
or the package is not required, disable it with --with-tcl=no.
Can anyone help me fix this please. It will also help someone else, cause this topic is widely spread.
I solved the problem by entering this: ./configure --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.5

make: *** No rule to make target `tools', needed by `all'. Stop

I was trying to install the Flite1.4. The installation is two steps
./configure
make
But make gives me this error:
make: *** No rule to make target `tools', needed by `all'. Stop.
Please help to resolve this error.

Your Makefile looks bad. Somewhere in it there is a like looking like:
all: <some-other-targets> tools
Which says that the target all requires the target tools to be made. But there is no line
in the Makefile defining the target tools.
That seems strange for a released code. Some idea on how to go on:
Make sure the target tools is correctly spelled. Case matters.
You may try to remove the dependency of all on tools by removing tools on the line described above and rerun make. This does not build you package completly, but at least you know if there are some other issues to resolve.
Run configure --help and look at the available options like --enable-XXXXX to may be used with configure. Using options with configure may modify the Makefile and avoid building the tools target.
Note that each time configure is called, the Makefile is being regenerated: so your modification may go lost.
