hi,
Daniel's found a nasty little bug testing XFS on Suse 7... it
actually affects every gensrc-based package (for any distro)
though.
GZIP(1) GZIP(1)
...
ENVIRONMENT
The environment variable GZIP can hold a set of default
options for gzip. These options are interpreted first and
can be overwritten by explicit command line parameters.
For example:
for sh: GZIP="-8v --name"; export GZIP
for csh: setenv GZIP "-8v --name"
for MSDOS: set GZIP=-8v --name
needless to say, things proceed rapidly south when attempting
to run configure if GZIP is set to something like "-9" as the
Suse7 /etc/csh.cshrc does (we somehow manage to get GZIP=tar!).
anyone have a good solution? test whether $GZIP is an
executable before using it, I guess? or extract the 1st
word of $GZIP somehow & test that for execute permission?
cheers.
