Package: tcl8.4 Version: 8.4.11-1 Severity: serious >From my build log:
... checking for connect... yes checking for gethostbyname... yes checking how to build libraries... shared checking for ranlib... ranlib checking if 64bit support is requested... yes checking if 64bit Sparc VIS support is requested... no checking system version (for dynamic loading)... ./configure: line 7646: syntax error near unexpected token `)' ./configure: line 7646: ` OSF*)' make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2 This is being caused by the following code in configure: ... if test -r /etc/.relid -a "X`uname -n`" = "X`uname -s`" ; then system=MP-RAS-`awk '{print }' /etc/.relid'` fi ... The problem is the extraneous apostrophe after relid on the middle line. If I remove this apostrophe, and another one in identical code later, then the package build completes successfully. Note that this same thing also happens in tcl8.0, tcl8.3, tk8.3, and tk8.4 (but not tk8.0). It doesn't hit blt, but it does affect tix (which I know has a different maintainer, so I'll file a separate bug report for that one). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-2-686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages tcl8.4 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-8.1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an tcl8.4 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
