This is because the B19 code has now added the ash shell as /.../sh and
it has not been modified to work with these sorts of things (spaces in
paths and symbolic links, to name 2).  You might try renaming sh to ash
and putting a copy of bash in as sh.  This made my stuff work much
better.

Subject: AC_PATH_PROG fails if blanks within PATH

The program itclsh is located at //D/Program Files/Itcl2.2/bin/itclsh.
Configure doesn't find the program. Moving the binary to a directory
without blanks in the path, configure works fine. The corresponding
snippet of configure.in is:

dnl Check the presence of [incr Tcl]
dnl --------------------------------

AC_PATH_PROG(ITCLSH,itclsh)
if test -z "$ITCLSH"; then
	itcl_default=no
else
	itcl_default=yes
fi

Is there a known workaround ?

Ciao
