Thanks for the report. I'm thinking that it might be best to just add something like: AC_CHECK([. ./bad.site && exit 77], [ignore], [ignore], [ignore]) prior to the configure test, to skip this test on AIX; can you confirm whether that would be sufficient? Exiting on sourcing failure is preferable, but I don't see any alternative, and at least the user still gets a message on stderr; besides, you would normally expect a config.site to be well-formed so that failure to detect a bad config.site is an unlikely case to begin with. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
