[demon]

I'm not sure which 'sed' invocation in the configure script it is, but the configure script hates the & character in the path. Unpack it somewhere else (or rename the directory to not use the & character) and you should be good to go.

[Woodstock]

You do realize that, in bash and most other Linux shells, the '&' character is used to signal "run the preceding as a detached (background) process", unless you escape it?
