I was building php for my horde package and the following was observed when running configure(Sun Sparc Solaris 2.9): # ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php.5.23 > --with-apxs=/usr/apache2/bin/apxs \ > > >> --with-gettext --with-dom \ > >> --with-iconv --enable-mbstring=all --enable-mbregex \ > >> --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql > >> > creating cache ./config.cache > checking for Cygwin environment... no > checking for mingw32 environment... no checking for egrep... egrep > checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /usr/local/bin/sed > expr: syntax error > ../configure: test: argument expected I used gnu sed when I had the problem when using the Solairs sed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-13 15:23:11] v2 at petrov dot ks dot ua Have same error when try to compile php-4.4.6 # ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking for egrep... grep -E checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /bin/sed expr: syntax error ./configure: test: =: unary operator expected ...

What is the version #? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-15 04:52:58] cheetah at tanabi dot org Okay; I upgraded the bash on the system and made sure configure was using it (it was using /bin/sh, which is Sun's 'sh' and therefore could be problematic). Bash is now at 3.2 and now when I run configure (same command as mentioned in the original bug): loading cache ./config.cache checking for Cygwin environment... no checking for mingw32 environment... no checking for egrep... egrep checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /usr/local/bin/sed expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2333: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2339: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2346: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2339: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2346: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2339: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2346: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2339: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2346: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2339: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2346: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2339: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2346: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2339: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2346: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2339: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2346: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2339: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2346: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2339: test: =: unary operator expected expr: syntax error ./configure: line 2346: test: =: unary operator expected ==== Then it continues on normally. This problem looks like another problem I saw in the bug system, so I'll take a look around again for it. The build was successful, so I'm inclined to not really care as much anymore :) But if it's a real problem I'd like to help track it down all the same. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
