Hi everyone;
I found a solution for my problem on a website and wrote this solution here
to help everyone who faced the same problem:
*"checking system version (for dynamic loading)... ./configure: line
7624: syntax error near unexpected token ')'
./configure: line 7624: ' OSF*)'
tcl8.3.2 configuration failed! Exiting ...
Tcl is not part of the ns project. Please see www.Scriptics.com to see
if they have a fix for your problem."
So after analyzing the configure files in the following directories I could
find the culprit and the solution:
tcl: file tcl8.x.x/unix/tcl.m4.
tk: file tk8.x.x/unix/tcl.m4.
otcl: file otcl-1.x/configure.in.
The line generating the problem was :
system=MP-RAS-`awk ' { print $3 } '/etc/.relid'`
The problem lies in how bash 3.1.x and 4.x.x parse the configure file. This
will simply pass through bash 3.0.x and lower versions. So in order to make
things work I changed the above line to:
system=MP-RAS-`awk ' { print $3 } '/etc/.relid`
You will have to take following steps in order to bring the changes into
effect:
Remove the second last character ( ' ) from the line and do this for all the
three files above. Now after changing the configuration files you will have
to delete older configure file and any cache if it exists in the respective
folders. After that do not forget to run autoconf from command line in the
respective folders to generate a fresh configure file.
