Re: [OctDev] Build problems on solaris 2.8 (octave-forge 2004.07.07)

[Paul K. <pki...@us...>]

Okay, that would be my fault.

Every system I use has bash available, so it doesn't affect
me one way or the other.  This is more of a question for
people with solaris, hpux, aix, etc.

In the meantime, please let me know of any bashisms.

Thanks,
