Likely unrelated to your issue though.

I'd be swell if the error message: config.status: creating Makefile sed: file ./confstatLjvKgu/subs-5.sed line 41: Unterminated `s' command config.status: creating Rules.make was somehow a little more informative, in terms of reporting the line in the original configure.in where the invalid variable value was possibly set. So I wouldn't have to harass you folks. > so I'd guess your way of setting this value is unsafe and/or kernel > dependent. It seems to be a bug in the way I'm parsing the CPU speed from /proc/cpuinfo. The RedHat kernel I mentioned before was MP. The problem happens with SMP, since there are two lines in the output of /proc/cpuinfo that report the processor speed.
