If, after the above, you still see the problem, please save a copy of your config.log file (evidence! to send here). Then you can probably work around it by rebuilding with ./configure --with-included-regex That will ensure that you use the regex code bundled with coreutils, which may be less buggy than what's in your systems C library. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
