I didn't mean to sound grumpy!
As to your configure problem, its strange. How did you get your
sources from CVS? Something like the following should do the trick
(untested):
% cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.mozart-oz.org:/services/mozart/CVS login
(Logging in to anoncvs@cvs.mozart-oz.org)
CVS password: anoncvs
% cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.mozart-oz.org:/services/mozart/CVS get -r mozart-1-2-0-fixes mozart
Which configure file was it that you looked at? In all the ones I
looked at (there are many!) the test for config.sub was around line
630 and looked like this:
ac_config_guess=$ac_aux_dir/config.guess
ac_config_sub=$ac_aux_dir/config.sub
ac_configure=$ac_aux_dir/configure # This should be Cygnus configure.
if test "$host_os" = ""; then
# Make sure we can run config.sub.
if ${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh} $ac_config_sub sun4 >/dev/null 2>&1; then :
else { echo "configure: error: can not run $ac_config_sub" 1>&2; exit 1; }
fi
If this doesn't help then mail the full output of configure and config.log.
