Yep...

sh -x ..... results in
[SNIP]
+ echo
+ sed -e s/'/'"'"'/g -e s/^/sitescript='/ -e s/$/'/
+ : Finish up by extracting the .SH files

Configure: syntax error at line 590: `do' unexpected
in config.sh, line 590, you can see: (output starts at 585)
multiarch='undef'
mv=''
myarchname='Rebuild a list's archive.
Use this command to rebuild the archives for a mailing list. You may want
to do this if you edit some messages in an archive, or remove some
messages from an archive.
Usage: /a1/bin/arch <listname> <mbox> [-h]
Where <mbox> is the path to a list's complete mbox archive. Usually this
will be some path in the archives/private directory. For example:
% bin/arch mylist archives/private/mylist.mbox/mylist.mbox
listname and/or mbox file is missing-solaris'
mydomain='.trash.net'
myhostname='stinky'
Here is the Problem.... I have installed Mailman, the gnu mailinglist
software from www.list.org.
Unfortunately, they provide a program called arch. /a1/bin/arch is first
in my path, followed by /usr ... so, no wonder sh chokes....
I guess, it is not such a good idea, to have /usr/bin/ last in my path. (I
want my people to use gtar as /a1/bin/tar instead of /usr/bin/tar )
Well, thanks alot for pointing me in the right direction!!! All is well
for me now!
THANKS FOR YOUR GOOD WORK WITH PERL
have a nice day
Lukas
