That's strange, configure is supposed to emit the error only if
config.guess fails. The relevant bit of the configure script is:
case "$host_alias" in
NONE)
case $nonopt in
NONE)
if host_alias=`${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh} $ac_config_guess`; then :
else { echo "configure: error: can not guess host type; you must
specify one" 1>&2; exit 1; }
fi ;;
*) host_alias=$nonopt ;;
esac ;;
esac
Could you try adding echos in various places to determine what has gone
wrong? It might be something specific to whatever /bin/sh is on your
system, I suppose.
Cheers,
Simon
