My guess is that the sed script has an unterminated `s' command. ;-) The question is not, "Which version of sed do you have?", but "Where is `configure' going awry in constructing the sed commands?" > At the end of the email I included the full output from my configure. > > here are the versions of automake/autoconf/libtool i have > automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p5 > Autoconf version 2.13 > ii libtool 1.3.5-8 Shared library build helper These should also make no difference, unless you have modified autoconf predecessor files (configure.in or config/*.m4 files). The sed script builder is ``config.status'', built by ``configure'' which is a product of _my_ autoconf, plus some autogen-specific autoconf macros (see config/*.m4): > $ autoconf --version > autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.50 So, let's have a look at the sed script file, along with the current message, since I noticed a different line number on your later run: > config.status: creating Makefile > sed: file /tmp/cs10164-30298/subs-2.sed line 7: Unterminated `s' command (Type ^z to suspend the process while these messages print, then copy the file off before it gets deleted.) Or, just edit the "configure" file to copy it aside, a la: > $ diff -U5 configure~ configure > --- configure~ Sat Nov 3 11:38:54 2001 > +++ configure Sat Nov 3 12:27:52 2001 > @@ -10715,10 +10715,12 @@ > cat >>$CONFIG_STATUS <<\EOF > > # > # CONFIG_COMMANDS section. > # > +(cd $tmp/.. ; tar cvf - `basename $tmp`) | gzip > /tmp/CONFIGTMP.tgz > + > for ac_file in : $CONFIG_COMMANDS; do test "x$ac_file" = x: && continue > ac_dest=`echo "$ac_file" | sed 's,:.*,,'` > ac_source=`echo "$ac_file" | sed 's,[^:]*:,,'` > > case $ac_dest in
