[Gdal-dev] gdal > 1.2.4: configure fails on FreeBSD

[Benjamin Thelen]

Hello list,


since version 1.2.4 I am not able to configure gdal successfully on 
FreeBSD 4.11 and 5.4 boxes, on which I have installed geos-2.0.1 from 
ports (which should be sufficient, I assume). Please see the error 
messages below.



- gdal-1.2.6
.

.
checking for geos-config... /usr/local/bin/geos-config
./configure.lineno: 25342: Syntax error: Bad substitution


- gdal-1.2.5
.

checking for geos-config... /usr/local/bin/geos-config
./configure.lineno: 25342: Syntax error: Bad substitution


- gdal-1.2.4
.
.
.
checking for geos-config... /usr/local/bin/geos-config
./configure.lineno: 25342: Syntax error: Bad substitution




I tried to configure --without-geos respectively --without-mysql, but 
that hat no effect.


I also had a look into the files "configure" and "configure.lineno" on 
the specified lines and into config.log, but that all did not help (me 
;-)). Google didn't help at all :-(.


If you need some more information, like log-files or so, I'll send them 
immediately.


Can you give me some hints. I'd appreciate your help very much.


Kind Regards,
Benjamin Thelen
