I was not sure which list to try first: development or bug. This may
turn out to be a bash bug but I thought I would start here.
I'm trying to run the configure script for httpd. It calls the
configure script for srclib/apr-util.
I'm running AIX 5.3. I have tried bash 3.2 with patches as of
December of 2008. I just tried again with bash-3.2.48. I also have
gawk installed but I do not have GNU's sed (I mention that because GCC
seems to require both)
The apr-util configure script is being called:
$ /usr/local/src/httpd-2.2.11/srclib/apr-util/configure --disable-
option-checking --enable-mods-shared=most --enable-ssl --with-ldap --
enable-authnz-ldap --enable-ldap --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl --enable-
proxy=shared --with-dbm=db47 --with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.
4.7 --cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=/usr/local/src/httpd-2.2.11/srclib/
apr-util --with-apr=../apr --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --exec-prefix=/
usr/local/apache2 --libdir=${prefix}/lib --includedir=/usr/local/
apache2/include --bindir=${prefix}/bin
The syntax error I get is:
checking style of ldap_set_rebind_proc routine... three
/usr/local/src/httpd-2.2.11/srclib/apr-util/configure: line 19709:
syntax error near unexpected token `|'
/usr/local/src/httpd-2.2.11/srclib/apr-util/configure: line 19709: ` *
\"* | *\`* | *\\*) ac_try_echo=\$ac_try;;'
configure failed for srclib/apr-util
I have tried an in-tree build as well as an out of tree build.
The reason I think that it may be a bash error is AIX's native ksh can
run the script clean. I'm happy to help out debugging this but I
never understood the autogen stuff very much.
