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
Re: help on bash-3.2
I compiled bash-3.2.0 from source (bash-3.2.tar.gz). After installation i get errors at configuring different software, especially at my KDE-project. I tried also different types of bash (features - more or less) - always this error. When I downloaded bash I haven't seen a patch to this version, so I did now installed GNU bash, version 3.00.16(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu). Now all works fine. Sorry that I haven't installed the last patch, I only was interrested in the last released version. So if you have patched this error yet it would be solved. But on such an error a new version should be released - it's my opinion. ___ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
