Description Carl Kemp 2004-11-17 07:25:44 AEDT

When trying to configure w/PAM & tcp wrappers, the configure script crashes 
while executing config.status. I will attach script output as a separate 
attachment.

That looks like some autoconf or shell wackiness.  Does the same thing occur
witn 3.9p1?  It uses a newer version of autoconf.

Also worth trying: CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh ./configure [options]

Comment 3 Carl Kemp 2004-11-17 10:26:09 AEDT

Both options you suggested also failed. Attaching output of configure.

output of configure for 3.9p1


>sh-2.05b# ./configure --prefix=/usr/openssh-$SSH_VERSION \

I assume this is a typo?

>    --with-privsep

This isn't a valid option.

Is it caused by any particular option?	If you remove them one at a time does
it begin to work at some point?  Also:

> ./config.status[310]: syntax error at line 310 : `)' unexpected
[...]
> 309:INSTALL="./install-sh -c"
> 310:311:    ac_cs_recheck=: ;;

The same line-doubling is in the first copy too.  Are you building these from a
script?  If so, does it have any embedded newlines/CRs/backspaces?

Comment 7 Carl Kemp 2004-11-20 07:19:51 AEDT

If I delete both PAM and tcp_wrappers, it does work, but leaving either one in 
crashes it.

Comment 8 Damien Miller 2004-12-06 17:05:35 AEDT

This looks like an autoconf bug. Maybe you could try one of the development
autoconf versions at ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/autoconf/ ?

I don't think any of the developers have regular access to Irix to debug this.

Comment 9 Darren Tucker 2005-03-31 23:21:09 AEST

Something else worth trying:

$ CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh
$ export CONFIG_SHELL
$ /bin/ksh ./configure [options]

(or replace /bin/ksh with /path/to/bash if you have it).

seven months, no reply == no bug

Change all RESOLVED bug to CLOSED with the exception of the ones fixed post-4.4.
