Andy,Yup, that was easier than having to upgrade to a newer coreutils!Turns out I was missing the alloca_.h and alloca.c files from coreutils-5.96. I've just committed it into CVS. Still compiles on my MacOSX box. Please try the snapshot when it is next created.If you want to make sure the plugins
Hello Ton,
I'm hoping this news will be the better of 2 evils!!
Coreutils 5.96 compiles, installs and uninstalls successfully on FreeBSD
6.1. (I did remember to remove my botched alloca.h file ;-) )

sorry, but for me, coreutils is GNU's stuff/tools which are not in BSD
base distrib (nor in ports, at
Andy,Can you goto http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/coreutils/ and download 5.96 and try and compile on your platform. As the plugins are currently syncd with this version, if coreutils compiles, it means I've made a mistake somewhere in copying their files over.If their code fails to compile, it is a pro
Hi Ton,
How can we find out the coreutils version?
Basically I'm using FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE, and have experienced this issue
with the plugins. My m4 version is 1.4.7. I don't know which version
of coreutils 6.1 runs against though?
As soon as FreeBSD 6.2 is released (couple weeks) I'll be upg

as such on FreeBSD.
After hunting around on the net, I found the solution is to create a
file at "/usr/include/alloca.h" with the single line: "#include "
eg.
echo "#include " > /usr
Problem: regex_internal.h includes alloca.h which does not exist in FreeBSD.
