Thanks to Vincent, I figured out what's going on. I had core.autocrlf
= true in my git config (github recommended adding it). The thing is,
it's only supposed to remove windows CR line endings before stuff gets
checked in, but for some reason it was also adding them to certain
files when I cloned (on a linux system). Removing the setting in my
git config fixed my problem. Cue the windows bashing ...

I don't know why you're getting those errors (are you using "zsh"?), but 
does "./configure" instead of "bash configure" work for you?

[racket-dev] problem running configure script

I'm trying to compile racket from source on a linux machine here at
Northeastern, but when I try to run the configure script, I get a

when I run "bash configure" I get this:

stchang@mrdo:~/plt/src$ bash configure

I didn't want it as a proof -- only as a way to see what would you get
with it.  In your case the error is below, and my guess is that it's
mostly useless without the latex file (and even with it it's pretty
bad).  Allowing interactions as Robby suggested sounds like a way to
get latex-like behavior, and you could even look at the latex file,
but you'd need to be told where it is and that it will be erased when
the whole thing is done.

If you want an 10-second solution to make it more prominent for most 
everyone, you could change the background of the box to a yellow 
(Post-It Note metaphor), maybe with a thin red border.  It's OK if it 
doesn't quite fit in to the style, because it is new, temporary, and 
made to stand out.  You could make it complementary in style to the very 
noticeable "Download Racket" icon.


(I actually noticed the "RacketCon" graphic yesterday before the email 
went out, when I went to the home page yesterday to click on the 
"Community" link.  Probably because of visual memory that something had 
changed in the page, and/or because the italics were different than 
everything else, and/or because, textually, the word "RacketCon" was 
unfamiliar.  But, for people of all visual inclinations, and people not 
already familiar with the busy home page, the current graphic is a bit 
reserved.)

Five minutes later I was looking at the browser window again, and... hey! There

My point? It's basically invisible.  A colored background (orange might go 
nicely with the blue of the download link) would make a big difference.

Apologies if this is a feature that's still under construction.

Hmm, I guess that it's possible to be by design, but I find it a bit

Yes, altho I think it would be best to drop into a mode where you are
interacting with latex directly when an error is detected (not sure
how possible that is).

Alternatively,  putting what I described in the docs explicitly and
recommending it on the mailing list seems fine.

FWIW, missing cross-references should never create Latex errors. Only
incorrect Latex-level configuration or Scribble bugs should trigger to
Latex errors.

Ah -- now that you say that I remember how it goes...  (It's probably
been more than a decade since I ran latex directly, not via some
makefile, scribble, emacs, or whatever.)

So a crude hack would be for the stdin that is sent to the process to
have something like "quit\n".  Something better would be to find out
some option that makes it abort on a first error instead of switching
to the compile-what-you-can-to-the-eof.

Does that sound right?

(Obviously, it eliminates information -- you get to see one error at a
time, but that's probably something that nobody really needed since
the 80s.)

I do not have an example of different outputs

The value is that the latex transcript pauses in the middle so you
know where the error message is.

You can see what I mean by forcing scribble to call some undefined latex macro.
