Recently (sometime between three days ago and last night), my computer ceased being able to compile programs created using GNU autoconf. When I run ./configure, it parses configure.in and writes out the temporary shell script, then executes it. While executing it, I see many instances of this error message: sed: unterminated `s' command. And the resulting Makeifle is zero bytes long. Obviously, that's not going to compile my program :) I checked to make sure it wasn't just the package I downloaded last night, because I've never had any problems with autoconf before. I went to my /usr/local/src/wine-20000526 directory from where I installed the latest Wine release three days ago. I made sure to make a backup copy of the Makefile, and ran ./configure Lo and behold! I was getting the same error messages! What could be causing this? I reinstalled sed, autoconf, glibc, and a bunch of other stuff from RPM, but to no avail. (of course, I didn't figure it was autoconf anyway, since that's not required to run configure, just to make new packages using configure) I have plenty of disk space left in my /home and /usr/local partitions (over 1GB free in each), so it wasn't failing to write. If anybody can tell me what's going on, please let me know. I'm not a regular follower of the list, so please CC any replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for your help, Ethan Baldridge It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt...then it's all just fun.
