That's really weird. Are there any particular configure scripts that show this? What shell are you using? In terms of debugging it, I'd try using "bash -x ./configure" and see what that says. Maybe "strace -f -o logfile ./configure" to see what it's doing. Both will produce a lot of output... -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "Further comment on how I feel about IBM will appear once I've worked out whether they're being malicious or incompetent.
