After further investigation, and much cvs action, I've narrowed it down to a change between 2001-09-23 and 2002-03-08. (I can't get anything in between to build due to automake issues.) And specifically, it's triggered by the change in LINENO handling between those versions. I've managed to generate two shortish (~1000 line) configure scripts demonstrating the difference in behaviour. The only difference between the two (apart from version numbers in comments) is the changed LINENO code. The later one fails in the manner described previously, while the earlier one succeeds quite happily. The two scripts are at: http://www.esc.cam.ac.uk/~twhi03/config.broke http://www.esc.cam.ac.uk/~twhi03/config.works Toby -- Dr. Toby White, Dept. of Earth Sciences, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EQ.
