Config is getting /bin/sh but do not know why make does use ksh, am still under confusion. That's really nice to here that now sh-utils, textutils and fileutils comes in one package. I shall try the new version of coreutils then.

It is much appreciated. What is the setting of @SHELL@ from configure? Here is the result on my system. grep @SHELL@ config.status s,@SHELL@,/bin/sh,;t t I am not clued into the details here but let me take a shot in the dark with a question. Is there any reason why /bin/sh is not suitable on your system and /bin/ksh is being used instead? Also textutils is getting a little bit old. Could you try with a newer version of the utils? The textutils package has been merged with the fileutils and shellutils packages to create the coreutils package. The later coreutils was generated using newer and more portable versions of the autotools which generated that file. http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ The latest version of the coreutils package is here: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.0.tar.bz2 (coreutils is the union of fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils) On my system it still generates the "(((" that you are seeing as a problem with your ksh. But it is still best to keep on the later versions if possible. And hopefully it will detect and use /bin/sh instead, assuming that is a POSIX shell on your system.
