checking for ANSI C header files... rm: conftest.dSYM: is a directory Note the "rm: conftest.dSYM: is a directory". This occurred a few times during the configure process. Didn't cause it to conk out, but is annoying.

AC_TRY_RUN and gcc on leopard.


directories contain detached debugging information (see man dsymutil).


is an error message during configure and a 'config.dSYM' turd.


without crude hacks.

I've looked into this issue. It is harmless and caused by an interaction between Gcc generates '.dSYM' directories when linking with debugging enabled. These AC_TRY_RUN tries to remove 'conftest.*' using rm, without the -r flag. The end result AFAIK this not easily fixed without changing the definition of AC_TRY_RUN, at least not
