This looks like a incompatibility between autoconf-generated "boilerplate" code and your environment. I see that our dmake/configure has been generated by a rather old version of autoconf, the first thing to try is: #install recent version of autoconf; 2.67 or 2.68 should be good cd /path/to/libreoffice_build_tree/dmake/ autoreconf Check that configure has been regenerated; it should says at approx line 3: "Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.6x" with "2.6x" being the version of autoconf you installed; should be significantly bigger than 1 :) Else, I think it leaves behind a file named confNNNNNsubs.sed with N being digits? Show us that file, as well as the lines of configure before the error line up to assignment of ac_delim, which is on my copy: ac_delim='%!_!# ' -- Lionel _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
