Hello!
I've just gotten through configure, but it was a bit of a fight; the
following patch fixes the problem.
Problem: script would terminate on (Irix 5.3)
if test `$ECHO -e foo` = 'foo'; then
because it would expand to
if test -e foo = 'foo' ; then
and the test would terminate the script complaining of unknown
operator "foo". The complaint was misleading, the real problem
appears to be that "-e" is an unsupported option to test.
Regards,
Charles E. Campbell, Jr.
