Autoconf is from the autoconf-2.13 package. For example, when I try to run 'autoconf --version', it hangs. % autoconf --version Start ... waiting for connection ... If I edit /usr/local/bin/autoconf (which claims to be a Bourne shell script, and replace it's !# with /usr/local/bin/bash, it then works. I have no idea if this has been reported in the PR database, but I just wanted to warn people... -- Brian 'you Bastard' Reichert 37 Crystal Ave. #303 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1713 USA Intel architecture: the left-hand path To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
