The script generates several errors after which Configure fails as well. >How-To-Repeat: make sure you have GNU uname in your path before /bin. or for that matter just make sure you have an executable called uname somewhere in your path before /bin/uname >Fix: There are two ways to solve that I can tell. One is to use an explicit PATH setting in the GuessOS script.
The other is to explicitly use "/bin/uname -X" instead of "uname -X" in the script. I would suggest the 2nd one. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
