That is really strange. The problem is that there are three distinct stages at
which the build may fail (autogen, configure and make). Could you perhaps
post the last ~50 lines of console output before the failure? With that info,
people on the list will be able to get a general idea of what is going wrong.

Yes, especially considering that there is a new release (2.4) around the corner.

Even better, you can download the updated version from this year from

http://conan2.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/git/dune-course/course-2015

That module contains a one-touch setup script called build-external.sh.
Maybe you can get up and running with the help of that script (take a look
at it, it contains some documentation at the top).

The build system info is definitely outdated, especially because we are
switching from autotools to CMake with the next release.

Cheers,
Steffen
