Hi,

This is really strange. I just did a buld of bash-5.0 from ftp.gnu.org. bui=
ld went well... but make install coredumped in mkdir. mkdir is in my bashrc=
...This is not a new change to the bash rc file.=20


mkdir ()
{=20
dirs=3D"$@";
for dir in $dirs;
do
/bin/mkdir -p "$dir";
done
}



make[1]: Leaving directory '/export/home/tools/bash/bash-5.0/po'
( cd /tools/bash/bash-5.0/examples/loadables && make=C2=A0 DESTDIR=3D insta=
ll )
make[1]: Entering directory '/export/home/tools/bash/bash-5.0/examples/load=
ables'

trying without the bashrc function. Sigh...

same result. bash/examples/loadables has a mkdir! Why would make install tr=
y to mkdir for the "current" directory?=20

I removed mkdir from the Makefile and named it xx... make -f xx install wor=
ked!

Any thoughts?

George...
