Re: [LinPrj] r2l 0.9.4

Hi Tzafrir,

It seems that the project is slowly but surely getting on the right track.
Here are some minor corrections. However there are some small annoyances
when trying to compile on Solaris:

1) biditext.in still contained some export var=name constructs (with
LD_PRELOAD). I have attached a fixed version to this message.

2) After ./configure is run, when trying to run

gmake PREFIX=/tmp/r2l-install

the compilation will abort at a certain stage because install-sh is not
found.

If, after running configure, I modify the last line of

r2l-0.9.4/src/refreshd/src/make.defs

from:
INSTALL=../../.././install-sh -c

to:
INSTALL=../../../../install-sh -c

everything seems to compile OK. So I think the problem is in configure
when it sets up the INSTALL= line.

3) Once again the annoying reminder that on Solaris the
ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESSES
macro should *not* be defined, otherwise refreshd will not run.
I think that a solution would be to place the macro definition under a
conditional compilation. ./configure should figure out that it is running
on a non-Linux platform and make sure the macro definition should not be
compiled.
