Going back to bash 3.0 fixes it. I will file a bug at the Maxima bug-
tracker.

Cheers,

Michael

Sujet: [sage-devel] 2.4.1.2: Maxima config failure on FC6/32 bit

Hello,

I just tried to build 2.4.1.2 on a current fedora core 6 on x86. The
configure for Maxima fails:

gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i386-redhat-linux
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --

disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-libgcj-multifile --enable-

Failed to configure Maxima.

The culprit in the Maxima configure script is:

expanded_top_srcdir="`(cd \"$top_srcdir\" 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null;
pwd)`"

I am using a bash 3.2 instead of the standard 3.0 since I plan to
valgrind SAGE as soon as it finished building. Before bash 3.2 the
bash would not deallocate such large amounts of memory that is was
next to imposible to filter out any potentially interesting bits for
SAGE. I would assume that it works fine with bash 3.0, but I will test
that in a moment. Anyway, if it turns out to be the bash you can ping
the Maxima people so they can fix it upstream before bash 3.2 becomes
the standard for Linux distributions.

I got the following version of automake and autoconf:

[mabshoff at localhost sage-2.4.1.2]$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.9.6
