no, this means you are cheating: in egrep, regexp \(ac\|as\)_
would match string (ac|as)_ -- but that's not what we want to check.
You have to adapt the regular expressions for egrep.
See macro AT_CHECK_ENV for an interesting example related to this.
BTW: AT_CHECK_ENV uses $GREP -E, not $EGREP. Do you know why?
Shouldn't $EGREP be more portable?
Have a nice day,
