if you login as one user (say 'root') and then `su` to another (say 'vapier'),
the ./configure test for /dev/fd will fail ... the reason being that the node
in /dev/pts/ is owned by the user that logged in
might i suggest this change in the /dev/fd test:
[bash_cv_dev_fd=""
if test -d /dev/fd && test -r /dev/fd/0 < /dev/null; then
# check for systems like FreeBSD 5 that only provide /dev/fd/[012]
exec 3<&0
if test -r /dev/fd/3; then
bash_cv_dev_fd=standard
else
bash_cv_dev_fd=absent
fi
exec 3<&-
fi
if test -z "$bash_cv_dev_fd"; then
if test -d /proc/self/fd && test -r /proc/self/fd/0 < /dev/null; then
bash_cv_dev_fd=whacky
else
bash_cv_dev_fd=absent
fi
fi
]
or perhaps just this one liner change:
exec 3<&0
- if test -r /dev/fd/3; then
+ if test -e /dev/fd/3; then
bash_cv_dev_fd=standard
