Yes, it appears that I own the folder:

ls -l 
results in
drwsrwxrwx@ 27 rickkline  staff         864 Dec  4 23:30 pds-2.4.116

pds-2.4.116 is the directory

I wonder if it might have to do with the CC compiler. configure calls for gcc, 
but Mac OS now uses clang. gcc points to clang as a convenience, at least for 
now, but just in case, I tried

CC=clang ./configure

Results of which, in 

Ricks-iMac:pds-2.4.116 rickkline$ CC=clang ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... no
checking for awk... awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking for style of include used by make... none
checking for gcc... clang
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/Users/rickkline/Downloads/pds-2.4.116':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details

The bold line "checking whether the C compiler works… no” concerns me.

Thanks.
Rick
