Description James Andrewartha 2005-08-15 16:58:25 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I'm tinderboxing gnome, and gnome-autogen.sh uses syntax that solaris's
/usr/bin/grep doesn't understand (it's incredibly brain-dead).

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?


Other information:
The solution is to either use /usr/xpg4/bin/grep or ggrep. The question is,
should I just work around this by fiddling my $PATH, or is it an actual bug that
needs to be fixed, by munging $PATH, or introducing $grep which uses ggrep by
preference ...
