No, it's not hard-coded. compile_et is created from compile_et_sh.in, which uses awk from the location determined by configure: #!/bin/sh # # AWK=@AWK@ So if it was /usr/bin/awk, it was because the configure script thought it was there. I'm not sure why that would have been the case, unless you had a config.cache file generated from another system. > I just tried again after symlinking awk in /usr/bin and got: > > : multiple definition of `_nl_find_msg' > ../intl/libintl.a(dcigettext.o)(.text+0x6d8):/src/kernel/e2fsprogs-1.35/intl/dcigettext.c:698: > first defined here > /usr/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `_nl_find_msg' changed from 1325 > in ../intl/libintl.a(dcigettext.o) to 1309 in > ../intl/libintl.a(dcigettext.o) Yeah, welcome to more gettext fragileness. You probably have some older version of gettext in /usr/include that is still being used during the compile, and the header files are conflicting. > >build process, and everything else important has been built.

Which distribution were you using? E2fsprogs compiles just fine on Red Hat and Debian.... - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
