Subject: Re: ncurses build problem


It's taken me a while to get back to this. Here is the info. awk is at version 3.1.4.

The error messages I see are the following:
During config:

The source of this problem was due to GAWK not parsing the parameters correctly. I now have the problem that the following command

echo "parm1 parm2" | awk '{print $1}'

resolves to "parm1 parm2" instead of just "parm1". Has anyone seen this before, or have any suggestions as to what may have built incorrectly prior to AWK being built?

Thanks,
Chris
