I have a problem understanding why, when attempting to configure mpich under the 2.4.27-1-686-smp kernel using bash shell, that I lose my std output when I enter (all on the same line)"
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mpich/mpich-1.2.6/ifc-ch_p4 > config.log 2>&1
This is my standard way of doing things and it's worked fine on RedHat and IRIX boxes. Indeed, a simple example gives the behaviour I expect:
$ (date; date -s) > config.log 2>&1;cat config.log Fri Nov 19 13:01:28 GMT 2004 date: option requires an argument -- s Try `date --help' for more information.
I do note that the first line of the configure script is #! /bin/sh
but I believe that should not effect the std out|err of my command line
Indeed, just checked on a RedHat 9 box and the final contents of the ./configure cmd are as expected (ie not the same as on this Debian box)...
