Actually configure scripts are typically used to deal with the differences between systems, many of which are not Linux and do not emulate Linux (if they did, much less configuration stuff would be required). Indeed, configure scripts predate Linux. >But even if it worked**, the question is WHY? What on earth does it do >that absolutely REQUIRES 20,000 lines of scripting code? Is there no one >willing to simplify it? No. That's because a configure script is not made for human consumption, but for running on the lowest common denominator shell, so that it runs on as many systems as possible. If you want something to understand, read the source file from which the configure script was generated. >(**And from my experience, even when I make the attempt, it too often >crashes out half way through.

It's not an autoconf-generated configure script then; these tell you what files they generate. - anton -- M.
