[comp.sources.bugs] Minor problem with Perl:Configure

jv@mhres.mh.nl (Johan Vromans) (01/24/89)

Finally found out why Configure tells me that "nm didn't seem to
work right".

Configure requires the output of nm to be

	..... T _printf

while my nm returns

	..... T  _printf

(yes, two spaces instead of one). Instead of starting a new "your
nm is broken" war, the fix is trivial and easy:

Configure, line 483:

sed -n -e 's/^.* [AT] _//p' -e 's/^.* [AT] //p' <libc.tmp >libc.list

change to: 

sed -n -e 's/^.* [AT]  *_//p' -e 's/^.* [AT]  *//p' <libc.tmp >libc.list
                      ^^                     ^^

Happy hacking,

	Johan
