Then after checking some step it become dead.I mean the following
texts on the screen
...	...	...	...	...	...
...	...	...	...	...	...
...	...	...	...	...	...
checking how to run the C preprocessor... (cached) gcc -E
checking whether gcc needs -traditional... no
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for ranlib... (cached) ranlib
checking for texconfig... true

I have attached the total output(as probha file)of whatever viewed on the
screen.Above lines after ... ... are the last part of attached file.
particularly on the line named 

	'checking for texconfig... true'
