When trying to configure bison 2.4.1 (http://directory.fsf.org/project/bison/) on a Solaris 2.8, the configuration stops with > ../../unZipped/bison-2.4.1/configure ../../unZipped/bison-2.4.1/configure: syntax error at line 23510: `}' unexpected > uname -a SunOS axkmsapp075n2 5.8 Generic_117350-33 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R Solaris > echo $CONFIG_SHELL /bin/ksh However, if I set the CONFIG_SHELL environment variable to an empty string then the configure script goes a bit further. It stops with checking for Java virtual machine... (cached) java configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating javacomp.sh config.status: creating javaexec.sh config.status: creating runtime-po/Makefile.in config.status: creating etc/bench.pl nawk: input record ` print $out "1+...' too long input record number 122 source line number 397 config.status: error: could not create etc/bench.pl > nmake --version version make (AT&T Research) 4.3 2003-04-15 It looks like a bug in the configure script. Could you please check it? hth raju
