--- Begin Message ---Hello. I received this report from the Debian bug system. It seems the root of the problem is a bashism in the configure script. Patch follows. BTW: Adding the letter "x" reminds me of MS-DOS .BAT programming, where such trick was necessary. Should "$with_termcap" = "auto" not work well enough, even if $with_termcap is empty? --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -16130,7 +16130,7 @@ done - if test "x$with_termcap" == xauto; then : + if test "x$with_termcap" = xauto; then : { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking for library containing tputs" >&5 $as_echo_n "checking for library containing tputs...
