EB> Yes it is. Change your path names. That's a very narrow attitude. "If autoconf does not work for you, your environment is broken". I'm glad not everyone thinks this way. The solution is as simple as obvious and used everywhere else: Quote data if it could contain special characters that would be misinterpreted otherwise. Fortunately, autoconf is not used by anything critical, so this bug it cannot be abused. CU/Lnx Sascha Registered Linux User #77587 (http://counter.li.org/)
