I wonder if those people forgot to run configure, or configure couldn't
write the makefile successfully because of some other problem.
Some versions of GNU sed are hosed, but 2.05 (which is the one I'm using)
is ok.
If either of the people who reported this problem see my message, would you
please do the following?
1) run "sh -x configure" in the scsh sources and send me the entire
output. If you're using a bourne shell to begin with, you can do
sh -x configure > configure.output 2>&1
If you're using csh, do
sh -x configure >& configure.out
Mail me the configure.out file.
2) Mail me the file `config.log' created from running configure.
3) Run "sed --version" and tell me which version it reports.
4) Run "make --version" and tell me which version it reports.
Thanks.
