The latest stable release is available here (and on several mirrors): ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.97.tar.gz but there is also a newer unstable release available (which is probably pretty usable): ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.1.tar.gz If you see that the issue persists with one of those versions, it would help if you could look at the part of the created config.log file which has more details about this error (just search for the corresponding warning in it) and report that to [email protected] then. Cheers, and thanks, Ralf
