[GRASS-dev] ./configure error

[Markus Neteler]

Paolo,

I guess that this is another Debian related issue somewhere in the 64bit
test section
(I also have 64bit here, but RHEL4). We had the same some time ago:

2006-01-02 17:40  markus
        * aclocal.m4 (1.16.2.3): re-activated MP-RAS test with bugfix
          (merge from HEAD)

2006-01-02 17:35  markus
        * aclocal.m4 (1.24): re-activated MP-RAS test with bugfix

2005-12-30 15:46  markus
        * aclocal.m4 (1.16.2.2): commented MP-RAS test due to syntax error;
          caused Debian to fail

2005-12-30 15:17  markus
        * aclocal.m4 (1.23): commented MP-RAS test due to syntax error;
          caused Debian to fail

I think that Paul discovered the syntax error last time.
You could open 'configure' in a text editor with syntax highlighting and
search
for the offending line, maybe between lines 1100-2000 or so. The
offending line
from last time was 1364 (system=MP-RAS...).
