Sigh. Another bash-3.1 "boon"?

I had a look at this earlier and this line in configure.in seems to be
responsible:

MP_VERSION=`echo $MP_VERSION | sed s/\\"//g`

on bash 3.0, foo=`echo \\"` sets foo to '"'. on bash 3.1 it waits for more
input. In case of this configure script this makes it fail about 200 lines
further on.

Haven't gotten around to patching it yet, but replacing the above line with:

MP_VERSION=`echo $MP_VERSION | sed s/\"//g`

and rerunning autoconf will probably do the trick.

To confirm, I've got bash 3.1.

I tried my hand at patching with the change suggested..  still fails with the
same error.  Is there anything else that catches your eye?

patch to configure.in

Makes the change from my earlier comment.

Odd, the two patches I just attached fixed it here. Perhaps autoconf didn't
rerun? Can you try the patches?

Yup, your patches did the trick.  I hadn't realized that autoconf had to be
called again explicitly after the epatch (I thought the src_unpack would take
place before the first autoconf invocation.)

Thanks!

Committed a fixed 3.1.4-r1, thanks for testing.
