First thing: I find only one reference to > "conftest.cc: No such file" > and while there are numerous such with conftest.c, reasons for failure > are usually: I don't know if this is ueful; but I came across a similar issue some months ago with a configure script for Fortran, where conftest.f was vanishing. The culprit turned out to be an errant trap which was being triggered elsewhere, which specifically deleted conftest.*, but somehow didn't stop the configure script proceeding. The ultimate cause turned out to be a buggy compiler on the platform in question - unfortunately I can't remember precisely the details of how that resulted in the odd behaviour; but I do remember it being very difficult to find, until I discovered the trap in question. -- Dr. Toby White Dept. of Earth Sciences, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EQ.
