Configure problems in Redhat Linux 5.2

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Russell,
   So I'm unfortunately running on Redhat Linux 5.0,
without problems, who would have guessed that the
shell would have compatibility problems ;o)  Here is
a patch from Chas Difatta that may fix the problem.

   I have not applied the patch yet, myself, so
please comment if you have problems.

Thanks,

Carter

configure doesn't :-(  Here is the end of the run:

checking for ANSI ioctl definitions... + echo configure:1128: checking 
for ANSI ioctl definitions
++ echo ${ac_cv_lbl_gcc_fixincludes+set}
+ eval test "${ac_cv_lbl_gcc_fixincludes+set}" = set
++ test  = set

++ echo configure:1152: gcc -c -g -O  conftest.c 1>&5
+ echo configure: failed program was:

+ echo no
no
+ test no = no
+ unset ac_cv_lbl_gcc_fixincludes
+ echo configure: error: see the INSTALL for more info
configure: error: see the INSTALL for more info
+ exit 1

It is a redhat linux 5.2 box.

Cheers, Russell.
