It is wrong for config.guess to use 'uname -p' unless it knows it is an okay thing to do on that particular host since that is a non-standard thing to do. It has no right to count on it being there. I am still suspicious as to the problem. I don't think we have a root cause to this problem yet. Perhaps on the configure command line you could force the selection. Something like this example. But these are from an x86. Replace with your appropriate values. ./configure --host=i386-linux --build=i386-linux Perhaps you could update your config.guess and config.sub on a failing package to the newest available and see if that helps. Both of those are needed and go together. I believe the canonical and newest versions are here. (I hope I have that right.) On hosts that are not as mainstream I frequently find I need to update those files. http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/config/ Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-sh-utils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-sh-utils
