Comment 1 Michael C. Vergallen 2003-07-03 09:35:58 UTC 
What is the problem here ? I'm stumped on this one !
Comment 2 Christian Stimming 2003-07-03 12:08:22 UTC 
Ok, so your OS is Solaris 8 (which makes it difficult to reproduce
this bug since none of the developers has access to such a machine).
What are your versions of intltools, autoconf, automake, aclocal? Did
you call ./autogen.sh before you started ./configure? Can you submit
your config.log as an attachment to this report? What does line 1382
and +-10 of surroundings read in ./configure? Thanks for your information.

Comment 5 Derek Atkins 2003-07-03 13:59:11 UTC 
Actually, I do have/use Solaris 8/9.

You need to use "bash" to run the configure script.  This is a known
bug but mostly out of our control (it's a problem with some .m4
scripts that we depend on)

Comment 7 Michael C. Vergallen 2003-07-03 14:21:03 UTC 
Sorry but I was using GNU bash to configure the program and it still
doesn't work !!!!
Comment 8 Michael C. Vergallen 2003-07-03 14:39:29 UTC 
The actual fix is to change the first line of configure from 

#!/bin/sh

to :

#!/usr/bin/bash 

now it works ...
Comment 9 Derek Atkins 2003-07-03 14:45:35 UTC 
It works fine if you run:

bash ./configure ...
