hi Iohannes

Here are the last few lines it outputs when the make fails:

   -I../portmidi/pm_linux      -fno-strict-aliasing -DPA_USE_ALSA -DUSEAPI_ALSA -O6 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -DINSTALL_PREFIX=\"/usr/local\"  -c -o ../obj/x_misc.o x_misc.c
x_misc.c: In function 'cputime_bang2':
x_misc.c:233: error: 'HZ' undeclared (first use in this function)
x_misc.c:233: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
x_misc.c:233: error: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [x_misc.o] Error 1

I hope this is in fact what you need to see I'm still pretty new at all this lol

Thanks for offering to help

the whole point to use configure is to detect certain features and do
the build according to these. if a certain feature is unavailable, pd
should be built without this feature (or the configure should stop with
an error).
your configure-output seems fine to me, mine does not look really
different (well, my _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is 64, but i don't think that this
will fail your build)

in order to give some valuable help, it would be interesting to know
where the build fails, instead of showing some random lines where the
problem might be (or as well not)...

anyhow, please post the actual error.
