Greetings and Happy New Year, Looking at the generated configure script, I notice that almost all occurrences of the "rm" command use either the "-f" or "-rf" options. In one case only is "rm" used without options and that's in autoconf/general.m4 in the following code snippet: cat <<\_ACEOF >conftest.sed [s/[\\$]/&&/g;s/;s,x,x,$//] _ACEOF program_transform_name=`echo $program_transform_name | sed -f conftest.sed` rm conftest.sed Is there a particular reason for no options? The reason I ask is two-fold. First, a bogofilter builder on OpenBSD-3.1 has encountered an unexpected query while running configure: override rw-r--r-- user/group conftest.sed? Secondly, since there's _only_ the one usage without options, it seems anomalous. FWIW, the following patch corrects the problem: --- general.m4.orig 2003-12-20 09:00:01.000000000 -0500 +++ general.m4 2004-01-02 18:01:35.000000000 -0500 @@ -1474,7 +1474,7 @@ [s/[\\$]/&&/g;s/;s,x,x,$//] _ACEOF program_transform_name=`echo $program_transform_name | sed -f conftest.sed` -rm conftest.sed +rm -f conftest.sed ])# AC_ARG_PROGRAM Cheers!
