./configure breaks at line 12782

Hi!

I have run into a wall trying to install libpostal. I've read through as many past issues as I can with no luck. I have tried adding --disable-data-download to the config and downloading data seperately, as mentioned in many other issues. That does not change the place the config command gets stuck. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this issue.

Edit to add: using OSX 12.4

My country is

USA

Here's how I'm using libpostal

Format international addresses for a mailing

Here's what I did

Installed dependencies with no errors

These worked: git clone https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal cd libpostal

This did not work: make distclean

This worked: ./bootstrap.sh

This did not work: ./configure --datadir=[...some dir with a few GB of space...]

It looks to me like it breaks at line 12782 with a syntax error (see below)

Here's what I got
