help on bash-3.2
Is it possible that this error relays to bash-3.2.0 ? If I configure kdebase-3.5.6, I get this error: checking for srandom... yes checking if srandom needs custom prototype... no checking for S_ISSOCK... yes checking for MAXPATHLEN... ./configure: line 61317: syntax error near unexpected token `do' ./configure: line 61317: ` dirs=`for i in $files; do if test -d $i; then echo $i; fi; done`' bash-3.2$ Where the error occurs in configure: - DO_NOT_COMPILE="$DO_NOT_COMPILE CVS debian bsd-port admin" TOPSUBDIRS="" if test ! -s $srcdir/subdirs; then files=`cd $srcdir && ls -1` dirs=`for i in $files; do if test -d $i; then echo $i; fi; done` for i in $dirs; do echo $i >> $srcdir/subdirs done fi - thanks bastl ___ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
bash-3.2 breaks mc (echo -e '\137')

I know that using /bin/sh will work around this new habit, but IMHO that's not an option in quite some use cases (e.g. login shells;-)) Harald -- "I hope to die ___ _ before I *have* to use Microsoft Word.", 0--,|/OOO\ Donald E.

Did I find a Bug in /bin/ls or in bash?
I am running SuSE 10.2. When I type the command: /bin/ls [A-B]* it lists all files starting with "b" but none starting with "a". The command: /bin/ls [a-b]* lists all files starting with "a" or "b", as expected. coreutils-6.4-10 bash-3.1-55 Thanks, Bob -- Robert K.
