Websh tarball

[Julian Stokes <we...@jewelion.com>]

Hi,

I just got notification of the latest version of Websh - so I thought
I'd like to try it out...

I did

tar -xzvf websh-3.5.0.tar.gz

Then, following the instuctions in README and INSTALL I did

cd src/unix
autoconf
./configure

I got the following error message

checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c
checking how to run the C preprocessor... cc -E
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for ranlib... ranlib
configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub

The contents of the src/unix directory are

Makefile.in  config.log  configure.in  memdbg.tcl      tcl.m4
aclocal.m4   configure*  install-sh*   mkinstalldirs*

i.e. no config.sub file. I may be way off the mark here...

My installation is Slackware Linux 8.0

Best wishes,

Julian

sounds fine so far. I actually have to provide the Tcl and Apache
paths using the following options (not providing them results in
different errors than yours)

./configure \
--with-httpdinclude=.../apache_1.3.26-install/include \
--with-tcl=.../tcl8.3.4-install/lib \
--with-tclinclude=.../tcl8.3.4-install/include

That's the way I know it. There should be no need for a config.sub
file.

I have only an older Linux and it's a different distribution. But
since my configure is the same for my Linux and my Solaris box, I just
attached it so you can try running it on your box (or at least check
the differences...)

Hope that helps
