[Plib-users] Bug: Examples configure script reliably fails

[Paxton C. S. <pcs...@ya...>]

Running on both Windows (Cygwin) and Linux (SUSE 10 64-bit and 32-bit),
the configure script from the examples package fails at the same spot:

[ paxton@raven: ~/libraries/plib/examples ] > configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes

checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no

checking dependency style of g++... none
checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... g++ -E
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub
 
Configure is like black magic to me, so I'll leave it to someone else
to fix this problem.

Thanks!
