Hi, the latest CVS checkout of autoconf showed a few regressions on my Solaris 9 system using mostly native tools. The problem seems to be a regular expression where a asterisk is applied to a parenthesised sub-expression. My reading of the sed manual page tells me that the native Solaris sed does only provide for the asterisk's use with one-character regular expressions. For example:
--- snip --- bash> echo '1*23*4' | /usr/bin/sed 's/\(.\)*/x/g' x2x4 bash> echo '1*23*4' | /usr/xpg4/bin/sed 's/\(.\)*/x/g' x --- snip --- I hacked my version of autoconf to pass the tests 63, 64, 66, 67, and 73. Please, consider the patch I send as attachment. Greetings, Ralf Menzel
