1.3.24 configure not working for FreeBSD 2.2.2

using  FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE, configure errors out:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache
Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.24
  + using installation path layout: Apache (config.layout)
Creating Makefile
Creating Configuration.apaci in src
./configure: 3: Bad file descriptor
[: syntax error


I've not seen this before - I am able to configure 1.3.23, and am wondering 
what has caused this.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I usually use tcsh, so I tried both sh and ksh 
- identical results with all three when I add the -v flag...  Duh - looking 
at configure, I see it specifies /bin/sh at the top, so trying different 
shells won't matter.

Not sure which version of /bin/sh I have, it is from 1997 though - changing 
configure to use ksh did the trick.

thanks, Phil

This is most likely some problem with your shell/os setup.

It is probably belching on the "lala >&3" construct used to play with
standard output in the shell script.  I'm not sure why it wouldn't like
that.

Try running configure with "-v" to get verbose output, and also try on a
different system or with a different /bin/sh.

Joshua.
