This results in your configure file being egregiously and needlessly bash-specific; it is not portable and will not run with POSIX-compliant sh implementations. Instead, use: ORAENV_ASK=NO ORACLE_SID=SID1 export ORAENV_ASK ORACLE_SID . oraenv Writing sh-compliant scripts is not much more onerous than writing bash scripts, once you know the difference, and it's a huge boon to people trying to use your code on systems where bash is not /bin/sh (even a number of Linux distributions now use smaller, faster shells for /bin/sh rather than bash). If you want an easy way to check, install ash or dash or similar on your system and use those to run your configure script. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
