Re: Error running configure for subversion 1.7.0
Thanks for the ideas. I was using /bin/sh (my call to configure is in a shell script). I tried /usr/xpg4/bin/sh, but I still get the same error. I also tried changing the configure script to call echo $output_flags, but no change. :/ Thanks very much for the ideas, though.

Re: Error running configure for subversion 1.7.0
I spoke too soon. Changing printf to echo $output_flags did work. I just needed to do it for all of the occurences in the script. So, I'm making forward progress. Thanks!
