./configure fails while gcc version checking

[tolysz]

./configure exits with an error 1 but commenting out lines 4115 - 4138 solves this problem i.e.

What's on those lines will depend on what version of autoconf you use. Can you paste them here please?

Can you also attach the output of configure and the config.log file please?

[tolysz]

The ./configure from ghc-6.12.0.20091106 is working fine. Only 6.13 is broken.

[igloo]

Is this the latest HEAD?

Do you have "set -e" in configure?

The configure scripts in the 6.12 and 6.13 branches are currently identical apart from the version number.

Replying to igloo:

Is this the latest HEAD? Do you have "set -e" in configure? The configure scripts in the 6.12 and 6.13 branches are currently identical apart from the version number.

There was "set -e" in 6.13 it works now with this line(2472) being commented out.

OK, thanks for the follow-up. It sounds like you have an old snapshot, so I'll close this ticket.
