Hello Paul and thanks for the reply I was more looking for a hint about what went wrong. If I use GNU gcc (Interix version 3.3), configure succeed this passage and it looks like this:
... checking for getloadavg... (cached) no checking for pstat_getdynamic... (cached) no checking for kstat_open in -lkstat... (cached) no checking for elf_begin in -lelf... (cached) no checking for kvm_open in -lkvm... (cached) no checking for getloadavg in -lutil... (cached) no checking for getloadavg in -lgetloadavg... (cached) no checking for getloadavg... (cached) no ... but when configure is about to finish and write the makefiles I get the same problem as Sam Johnston: ... configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile sed: Cannot allocate memory config.status: creating doc/Makefile sed: Cannot allocate memory ... It seems to me (but now I'm only guessing) that the script is suffering from buffer overruns. > Some of the problems described in those links have been fixed, in coreutils CVS. > However, as far as I know we haven't gotten copyright assignment for > the remaining fixes so we can't incorporate them.

Well, configure scripts at this scale is really beyond me, as you probably already figured out. Hopefully someone at the /tools community <http://www.interopsystems.com/tools/default.aspx> do have the skill. I'll try my luck with the cvs source. best regards Jerker Bäck _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
