I have tracked this problem down to configure exec'ing itself with "/usr/local/bin/ksh" as shell. (call configure as "sh -x configure" and see: [...] + test -z /usr/local/bin + CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/local/bin/ksh + export CONFIG_SHELL + exec /usr/local/bin/ksh configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... ./install-sh -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes [...]) >How-To-Repeat: install the ksh93 port, then try to build the libwmf port >Fix: My workaround was to "chmod a-x /usr/local/bin/ksh93", then install libwmf, then "chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/ksh93" again. As that configure script is (as usual) an big ugly unreadable mess, I have no idea what actually is at fault here. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
