I ran the configure script with the keep-temps switch. It wrote what appeared to be a syntactically valid chkconfig.sed file, which sed then choked on with the message sed: file chkconfig.sed line 1: Unknown option to 's' as per Milos's earlier post. So I loaded it into NoteTab (my favorite editor) and saved it in "Unix" format (0x0A rather than 0x0A 0x0D for end- of-line), and sed swallowed it whole. Looks like the "unknown option" is the extra Windows end-of-line character. Next question is, how do we get rid of the offending ctrl-Ms? -- Paul ************************************************************************* Paul A.
