Did you run autoconf? Do you have a config.site?

This occurs only in some occasions and I can't understand why. Other conf= igure files (for other projects, of course!) work without problems. I'm using the latest PDKSH, but I never ran autoconf. This could be the mai= n culprit (together with my ignorance about running autoconf, alas). That said, it seems that a "normal" configure script often asks for some co= mmands like "test", "builtin" and "function" which I don't have and should = serve as tests for particular platform. I guess an autoconf run might solve= all those problems - still, I have to learn how to use it. I have also some strange problems in porting SDL or Qt applications, but th= ose issues should be relatively easy to fix (type mismatches, some not foun= d libraries and basically header files woes). I'll try to get my hands on t= he latest autoconf and learn to use it. Thanks, Mentore
