Re: non portable sed scripts

[Paul Eggert]

Thanks for the bug report.  I suspect that the sed usage is portable
but that we are running into some limitation of your 'sed'
implementation.

Here is some further information that you can send that will help us
debug this.  (I don't have access to your platform so I can't debug
the problem directly.)

Which operating system are you using?  What does the shell command
"uname -a" output?  How about the shell command "type sed" or "which
sed"?

Please try patching your config.status file as follows:

--- config.status~      2006-05-19 12:02:29.000000000 -0700
+++ config.status       2006-05-19 12:04:44.000000000 -0700

     sed -f "$tmp/defines.sed" $ac_file_inputs >"$tmp/out1"
     # First, check the format of the line:
     cat >"$tmp/defines.sed" <<CEOF

Then run the command "./config.status", and then look at the contents
of myscript.sed.  Does that file look OK?  How does your myscript.sed
compare to my (attached), which does work for me?  What is the output
of this command?

sed -f myscript.sed config.hin | diff -b config.hin -

Thanks.
