I can't reproduce this problem.  The configure script worked fine for
me on a Linux system and a DEC Alpha running OSF/1 3.2.

Has anyone else had problems running the configure script distributed
with 1.94?  I switched to autoconf 2.12, which could have caused some
problems (but none that I've noticed).

Thanks,
