Description Julio Merino 2006-04-02 09:26:39 UTC 
The configure script calls test(1) in multiple places and uses its == operator.  This operator is a GNU extension, which means that those calls fail in many operating systems (e.g. NetBSD in my case) that have their own test(1) utility.

Those calls to test(1) should use the standard = operator, thus fixing these compatibility problems and making configure work appropriately.
