The sed lines in src/unix/Makefile confuse the grep distributed with
Solaris
that gets configured by ./configure.
Well, it calls sed not grep! Which version was that -- it works for me
and for several others. I have SED = /usr/xpg4/bin/sed (see file
Makeconf), and that is 'distributed with Solaris': perhaps you do not
have it installed?
The danger of changing R to fix a broken OS tool is that the change may
break on other people's tools -- better to fix the tool.
Is this a tool problem at all? The most common reason for separator
breakage is that one of the substitution strings contains the separator.
E.g., the sed line may break if @rhome contains a colon, and after the
fix it will break if it contains a comma...
Switching from a separator of ':' to a separator of ',' fixes the
problem.
