What version? This cvs-ish one: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/nqmacs/emacs-21.3.50.1-20040519-src.tar.gz?download With other versions of emacs, I've been fully able to do ./configure, from csh (where I usually am). Noticing that configure's first line said "sh", I tried this: 81 ==/big7.1/dkc/sources-stuff-2/emacs-21.3==> sh $ . ./configure sh: /sbin/sh: cannot execute binary file and you see what I got. Finally I decided to do -vx with explicit sh: 84 ==/big7.1/dkc/sources-stuff-2/emacs-21.3==> sh -vx ./configure #! /bin/sh # Guess values for system-dependent variables and create Makefiles. # Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59. # # Copyright (C) 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc. # This configure script is free software; the Free Software Foundation # gives unlimited permission to copy, distribute and modify it. ## --------------------- ## ## M4sh Initialization. ## ## --------------------- ## # Be Bourne compatible if test -n "${ZSH_VERSION+set}" && (emulate sh) >/dev/null 2>&1; then emulate sh NULLCMD=: # Zsh 3.x and 4.x performs word splitting on ${1+"$@"}, which # is contrary to our usage.

Interesting -- or more than that? Thanks for looking at this post. David
