Re: [Scrollkeeper-devel] problem with configure script on scrollkeeper 0.3.12

[Joel S. <js...@co...>]

All very good suggestions...
Well, the installation is likewise being done as root.  I have an idea about the shell, though... 
You see, root on most Linux Distros uses bash as default, and I have learned not to change that, but I do often use ksh and usually my normal user has that as a default shell.  On this machine, that is pdksh.  It appears that in the window in question I had logged in as my normal user and su'ed to root, therefore I tried logging in another virtual terminal as root, but it had the same results.  I am going to set -x in the configure script and see if that revceals something.  
Meanwhile, the shells in question are:

root@perita:/usr/src/scrollkeeper-0.3.12# bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release (i386-pc-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
root@perita:/usr/src/scrollkeeper-0.3.12# ksh -o vi
# echo $KSH_VERSION
@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2
# 

I thank you again for responding as you have.  I guess the main question is if I remove the check for the dtd I have to wonder if this will somehow mess up scrollkeeper.. I will keep you posted on what I find :).
