The "configure" shell script shipped with qmail-scanner-1.15 fails
under AIX (and probably on other system with simple bourne shells
/bin/sh, like Solaris for example) with the following error message:
./configure[370]: syntax error at line 507 : `(' unexpected
The problem stems from early-matched double quotes in the expressions
on lines 489 and 534:
SOCKET="`$dir/sophie -d -f README 2>&1|grep 'Socket path'|awk '{print
$NF}'|sed 's/"//g'`"
SOCKET="`$dir/trophie -d -f README 2>&1|grep 'Socket path'|awk '{print
$NF}'|sed 's/"//g'`"
The double quotes in the sed pattern should have been escaped, like
this:
SOCKET="`$dir/sophie -d -f README 2>&1|grep 'Socket path'|awk '{print
$NF}'|sed 's/\"//g'`"
SOCKET="`$dir/trophie -d -f README 2>&1|grep 'Socket path'|awk '{print
$NF}'|sed 's/\"//g'`"
It seems that the problem appears only with shells that look for the
end of the double quotes before evaluating the back-quoted expression.
Other shells (like bash or the FreeBSD /bin/sh), which evaluate the
back-quoted expression before looking for the end of the first double
quote, do not run into this problem.
The fix I suggested above (with the escaped double quotes) works with
all bourne shell implementations, and therefore I suggest it be put
into the next release.
