[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-122?page=comments#action_12365490 ]
Graham Dumpleton commented on MODPYTHON-122: -------------------------------------------- Or as someone else suggested, maybe: MP_VERSION=`echo $MP_VERSION | sed 's/"//g'` or: MP_VERSION=`echo $MP_VERSION | sed 's/["]//g'` The single quotes should be enough to protect it without needing a slash. > configure fails when using bash 3.1.x > ------------------------------------- > > Key: MODPYTHON-122 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-122 > Project: mod_python > Type: Bug > Components: core > Versions: 3.2, 3.1.4 > Environment: Any platform using bash 3.1.x > Reporter: Jim Gallacher > Assignee: Jim Gallacher > Priority: Minor > > A bug in bash 3.1 causes configure to fail. This has been reported on recent > versions of Gentoo and and discussed on the mod_python mailing list: > http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118948 > http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2006-January/019965.html > http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2006-January/019969.html > According to the gentoo bug report, the problem in configure.in is the double > backslash escape sequence in the line: > MP_VERSION=`echo $MP_VERSION | sed s/\\"//g` > Changing this to: > MP_VERSION=`echo $MP_VERSION | sed s/\"//g` > fixes it for bash 3.1. > I wonder why mod_python is using \\" since the gentoo fix seems to work ok > with bash 3.0 (and GNU sed) just as well. Is it there to support other > shells, other sed versions, older bash versions... ?? > I suggest mod_python adopts the gentoo fix, or avoids the problem altogether > by using tr. eg. > MP_VERSION=`echo $MP_VERSION | tr -d '"'` -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
