I have additional information on this issue that I thought I should share just in case someone else experiences this problem. I added debugging code to the W3M configure script to help me determine exactly where the problem is occurring. I discovered that the problem is actually occurring after the code I included in my earlier message, in the following block of code.
case $ac_prog in > # Accept absolute paths. > [\\/]* | [A-Za-z]:[\\/]*) > re_direlt='/[^/][^/]*/\.\./' > # Canonicalize the path of ld > ac_prog=`echo $ac_prog| sed 's%\\\\%/%g'` > while echo $ac_prog | grep "$re_direlt" > /dev/null 2>&1; do > ac_prog=`echo $ac_prog| sed "s%$re_direlt%/%"` > done > test -z "$LD" && LD="$ac_prog" > ;; > "") > # If it fails, then pretend we aren't using GCC. > ac_prog=ld > ;; > *) > # If it is relative, then search for the first ld in PATH. > with_gnu_ld=unknown > ;; > esac > Specifically the freeze is occurring in the while loop in which grep is called. I had the following packages installed, which appear to be obsolete. - mingw-w64-i686-grep - mingw-w64-i686-sed - mingw-w64-x86_64-grep - mingw-w64-x86_64-sed When I removed the packages, the problem went away.
