Yes, this is a bit puzzling. With your patch applied, calling 'perl Configure.pl' gives me this output: auto::aio - Does your platform support AIO......................yes. ... and doing the grep I described above gives: grep -in aio lib/Parrot/Config/Generated.pm 92: 'HAS_AIO' => 1, 110: 'aio' => 'define', ... and this is on two boxes (one Ubuntu, one Debian) where I'm sure I never did anything special to install AIO. And so even with your patch applied, when you run Configure.pl you don't detect the presence of AIO -- am I understanding you correctly? The probe file in question has not been substantively altered in four years, so if you feel it should be rewritten, please feel free to submit a different patch. HTH kid51
