If I remove the CLICOLOR variable, it will build fine.  Since I have

not get hung on this issue.


Macports does some cleaning of environment variables before building
software.

I think that does not help here... The configure script is executed in a
new shell which sources the user's .bashrc (as /bin/sh is bash).
Therefore CLICOLOR=1 is in the environment there.

I really don't understand why autotools is relying on `ls` in the shell here and not using `which ls` to avoid aliases. I tried to reproduce the problem with CLICOLOR=1 in my .bashrc, but this alone did not cause any
error. Did you alias ls to something?


I think in order to fully replicate the behavior:
# Color output
export CLICOLOR=1
export CLICOLOR_FORCE=1
export LSCOLORS=dxfxcxdxbxegedabagacad
