The configure script was created by autoconf, so it doesn't sound like the correct thing to do.... however, I've just tried running through exactly the same process again and get a different error, so the error above may well be a red herring. This time I'm consistantly getting:- + ./configure --prefix=/usr/test CONFIGURE.: creating cache /dev/null .\CONFIGURE.[1003]: syntax error: `esac' unexpected + make I can't see why this should be in uppercase with '\' instead of '/' but this is at a later point than than the original error. Maybe a reboot is in order... -- John
