> I don't see any aliases that are going to break the compile process. I beg to differ --- I think the ones quoted above match your symptoms pretty well. So the question is: why are they getting used in a noninteractive script? My bet is that you've defined these aliases in the wrong place. I'm not sure about Solaris, but on Linux one conventionally puts aliases like these in ~/.bashrc, which I think is not read by plain sh. If you've put them in ~/.profile they are very likely to break shell scripts. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
