->cat zeb.sh #! /bin/sh UNAME_REL=`(/bin/uname -X|grep Release|sed -e 's/.*= //')` echo got $UNAME_REL exit 0 ->./zeb.sh /bin/uname: invalid option -- X Try `/bin/uname --help' for more information. got -> I think this is the right line of investigation but I don't know enough about how config works. It seems to me that something upsets that parser and the parentheses no longer match. If I copy hack config chasing out the reported unexpected `)' I reach further instances of unexpected `)' and eventually having hacked out all it reports unexpected EOF. I feel that we should start at the beginning, why does config not extract x86_64 for itself from uname -m???
