> printf "%s" "${output_flags# }" I'm guessing it's the # substitution in that line. Which shell are you using? It's a long time since I used Solaris but there used to be /usr/xpg4/bin/sh that was more like the shells commonly found on Linux. Perhaps you could use that. Alternatively you may be able to replace the above line with: echo $output_flags it occurs in several places in configure. -- Philip
