If I have this in my configure.ac

does not truncate output... /opt/csw/bin/gsed
I've not asked it to check for sed, so why is it putting that in the end?
Because you don't output any result to your own check. AC_MSG_CHECKING
doesn't output a newline at the end. So what you see is the next check.
One would usually use the macros like that:
AC_MSG_CHECKING([for foo])
test ... ; then
AC_MSG_RESULT([yes])
else
AC_MSG_RESULT([no])
fi

Thank you Daniel. I'm only sending this to the list, and not replying to
you directly, as I doubt you want two copies of the same message.
That answers my query. Now I can easily re-rewrite the test, so it works
better.
