What particular terminal program does work ? The last visible message probably stems from aclocal.m4. In a configure file of my own i can see the expanded macro code. It should have added the message text "yes" or "no" if the test had finished. So indeed the hang seems to be in there. The test consists of piping a makefile into "make -f -" and checking its exit value. Hard to guess what difference between tmux, rxvt, and other terminal programs could make this test getting stuck. Are you really sure that the problem never appears on the terminal program which you use for a second try ? (Would tmux and rxvt work too on second try ?) Have a nice day :) Thomas
