(The line may be longer or shorter on Solaris; there, /usr/xpg4/bin/grep is documented to have a limit of LINE_MAX = 2.48 bytes (Solaris 2.6); the config.status lines are slightly shorter than the Makefile ones, so it may be possible he saw the latter issue trigger but not the former.) What do you think?
BTW I use gnu grep 2.5.1 on solaris (first in my path), and configure seems to pick that as well. Also GNU sed version 4.1.4, GNU Make 3.81. /bin/sh is the system default. Perhaps configure really requires bash? Apparently not, as modifying the top of configure to use bash doesn't help, and even setenv SHELL bash doesn't help. Sam Sirlin Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
