The moral of the story is that this works:
CONFIGURE="../configure --prefix=/usr/local ${EXTRAINC} --enable-maintainer-mode
--with-version-suffix --with-included-gettext"
echo ${CONFIGURE} "--with-frontend=${FRONTEND}"

Does this line break come from the mailer or is it
Can anybody see what is wrong with this shell script. It fails on a
machine running Debian unstable. Error message below.
The perverse thing is that it runs fine on a machine running Fedora 1
