I run ./configure with FreeBSD 6.2 machine.  It outputs following error:

% ./configure
as_func_failure succeeded.
as_func_failure succeeded.
No shell found that supports shell functions.
Please tell autoconf@gnu.org about your system,

message

It seems that ./configure use /usr/local/bin/zsh...

This is not a bug, just an informational message.  He should just do what
the message says, but otherwise there is no problem.

    This is not a bug, just an informational message.

If this is meant as an informational message, it is rather confusing.

    % ./configure
    as_func_failure succeeded.
    as_func_failure succeeded.
    No shell found that supports shell functions.
    Please tell autoconf@gnu.org about your system,
    including any error possibly output before this
    message

It seems to tell the user this is a bug and that he should
report it.

If this is not a bug, then the message shouldn't look like a bug.

The latter is true, but the first isn't.  The point of the message is to
collect information about systems that still are using obsolete shells.

Please tell autoconf@gnu.org about that.

I did that now, thanks.

(You could have told them too.)

Since I cannot read your mind that would not be very effective.

I simply followed your suggestion.  You don't need to read my mind
to know what you suggested.
