[Techtalk] apache sed compile error.

[Jen B]

Hey folks,

I'm trying to build apache-1.3.26 on an
x86 machine running Turbolinux Workstation 7.0 (Monza)

very little on this box has been installed or upgraded
yet.

here's my compile output:

[root at ghost_082202 apache_1.3.26]# ./configure

it looks like there's something up with sed.
through use of gratuitous echo tags I've isolated the
particular (and lengthy) statement using sed from
the configure script:


echo "line 1307"

I've built apache on this distro one other time, and did not run into
this. I 'googled' the error string and got some references from the
debian bugtracking system without any details as to how the bug was
resolved. The other returns were in German.

Can anyone shed some light? Let me know if there is more info
I can provide.

Thanks!

Jen
