How about put the whole thing into a script, then run that script instead of the original ./configure, ie (not tested): 1. Edit: my_configure.sh #! /bin/sh ./configure \ --option1 \ --option2 \ --option3 2. Make my_configure.sh executable chmod 755 my_configure.sh 3. Run my_configure.sh instead of the original configure script; ./my_configure.sh RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept.
