I noticed something peculiar while running the Configure script for Elm 2.2. It seemed that if I banged out to a shell at a Configure prompt, Configure itself terminated. I would get my subshell as expected, but when I then typed exit to get back to Configure, it was gone and I just got my shell prompt. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm running ksh if that makes a difference; I know Configure warns about possible weirdness here. tim -- Tim J Ihde INTERNET: tim@attdso.att.com (201) 898-6687 UUCP: att!attdso!tim "Blimey - this redistribution of wealth is more complicated than I'd thought!" - Dennis Moore and various Presidents

Another problem during congiguration was that Configure incorrectly determined that utimbuf was defined on this machine and failed to properly set up the config.h file. This caused leavembox.c to bomb. This is compiling with the shared library, so Configure may actually have found the definition in libc.a and it was omitted (like a lot of other stuff) from the shared lib. Other than these two minor problems, everything works great. Nice job and a tip of the hat to the development team! -- Jeffery Small (206) 485-5596 uw-beaver!uw-nsr!uw-warp C.

This happened to me, also. I was in ksh, I typed sh Configure, and started
configuring. I banged out to a ksh, but when I returned, Configure
terminated. This didn't happen with the 2.1 Configure (if I remember
correctly...).

Now that Microport is Chapter 11, all of us who do not have ksh and want Elm are SOL. We can't get ksh anymore. I never even got my 2.4 upgrade I had an upgrade contract for (sigh). So I guess it is time to hack the configurations scripts manualy (UGH!). My question to the net is, will some kind sould send me a uuencoded binary of ksh, or maybe their config files so I can hack them to account for smail ?
