Once it gets past that first part, it becomes loquatious again. It now hangs up trying to ascertain the maximum command length. I'm sure it did this before in the old configure, but I can't find it to compare. I may be thinking of another application, like gmp. As I posted before, I've added a special case for amigaos, to prevent the search for command line length limit. At 3m 40s per trial, it's far too slow. Having got past the first "command line length determination", it tries to do it all again some time later. However, the second attempt fails the shortcut and after an hour of trying to find the limit, fails with memory corruption. Where is the second trial? Do I have to modify something else as well? I guess I'll find out soon enough. I was sorta hoping the new version would work out of the box. Why does this silly configure program start looking for FORTRAN compilers? It found a half-finished FORTRAN installation of mine and got itself in a real knot trying to configure it. I had to rename it to make it invisible. tony _______________________________________________ kaffe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
