I think that this implies that your autoconf script is probably calling the wrong perl, one which does not understand the "/dev/env" syntax. You might try this again with "PERL=/dev/env/DJDIR/bin/perl.exe" set first in the environment. Ordinarily this shouldn't happen. Which version of autoconf are you trying to run? Do you have another version of autoconf also installed? Is this an autoconf that you built and installed yourself, or one of the prebuilt packages? Overall this sounds like a problem with your autoconf installation. If you run "which perl" and "which autoconf", do you get the DJGPP programs that you expected? When trying to port a GNU program like this, I usually start by removing the files configure, aclocal.m4, config.h.in, and Makefile.in, then run: aclocal, libtoolize (if necessary), autoheader, "automake -a", and then autoconf. This is usually easier than trying to find out why the generated files in the distribution might not work in DJGPP. Doug -- Doug Kaufman Internet: dkaufman AT rahul DOT net
