Is /usr/sbin in your path? (Does 'which grep' or 'type grep' find it?)
yes, it is. But configure does not seem to care at this point, using
only a set of fixed paths to search for 'find'. As I said, the same
issue exists with other recent GNU software as well.
Hmm, that can't be good. I specifically build certain GNU packages (sed,
grep, awk, to be specific) in a certain order, and before building other
packages, specifically so that later packages can use the GNU versions
instead of hoping that a system-supplied one meets the needed semantics.
However, from what I can see of 'configure' in gzip-1.3.9, it looks like
it /should/ be checking in $PATH (unless I am looking in the wrong
place). Can anyone else confirm whether or not $PATH is checked? If not,
why not, and what packages are affected by this?
