I've applied this part. Turned out there was a second bug in the same area: autoconf was stripping the []'s out of the sed regexp, causing it to fail to do anything. Apparently passing a string like "3devel" to awk's "%d" format gets you just "3", but I wonder how portable that behavior is either. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
