I recently downloaded the MonetDB-Feb2010-SuperBall-SP1.tar.bz2 file from the site in order to build MonetDB and I get this build failure:

If you believe this is an error in the script or the software,
file a bug and attach the logfile.

making MonetDB5-server failed
I actually also see this error if I build the server package standalone after building and installing the pre-reqs
