Using the latest snapshot Eric provided me with, m4 fails to build on Tandem NSK/OSS. Using the above, *plus* this patch: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2006-10/msg00140.html both 'make' and 'make check' succeed. ...and I finally figured out the problem is a simple '-l' (i.e. the amount of whitespace in the patch differs from the sources I have). With 'patch -l' I was able to apply the above patch as-is. (Or at least, the copy of it that I had laying around that I sure don't recall changing, other than to strip the m4 changes. I am now wondering if something went amiss in my copy-pasting that it wasn't working right off.) Is that more helpful (I hope!)? :-) - -- Matthew "Inches: An antiquated measurement unit still in use in certain backwards countries with incredibly low-cost computer equipment." -- groff documentation -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Cygwin) Comment: Public key at home.comcast.net/~ericblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFXRj584KuGfSFAYARAm0rAKClCCP6otQp9nE6fFyPOMTSXDDNPgCfRnoD OBGFwYZXMb9msk9DQclXIf8= =5DQb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
