The auto-configure script doesn't work under 1.3, either. Also, it requires awk to finish. I have been fiddling with the script to take into consideration various MINIX quirks (like no .o files - which the vanilla configure script looks for when extracting names from the library), but in order to make it fully functional, I will need a MINIX version of awk. Does one exist? If so, where can I get a copy from? (Via annonymous uucp or by e-mail only - I am not on Internet and can't use ftp - sigh :-) Thanks - I'll post my changes to patch once I get it working - and I will mail a copy of them to Larry for inclusion in the 'master copy', if he wants to add the stuff.
