A user of our package wrote to say ./configure was segfaulting. >./configure ./configure Segmentation fault
I suspected old shell so I tested on a shell server at he.net and could repeat it (turns out the user was testing on he.net, too). What's causing the segfault is this line in the ./configure script: $as_unset ENV MAIL MAILPATH Here's the version of bash that's running: /bin/sh --version GNU bash, version 2.01.0(23)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright 1996 Free Software Foundation, Inc. The configure script was built with autoconf 2.57, but this isn't really an Autoconf problem, but I hope someone has seen this before: >cat test #! /bin/sh # Support unset when possible. if (FOO=FOO; unset FOO) >/dev/null 2>&1; then as_unset=unset else as_unset=false fi echo "\$as_unset = $as_unset" # Work around bugs in pre-3.0 UWIN ksh. $as_unset ENV MAIL MAILPATH >./test $as_unset = unset Segmentation fault Thanks, -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED]
