$>./configure

func_success failed.
No shell found that supports shell functions.
Please tell address@hidden about your system,
including any error possibly output before this

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
... (then works normally)

System is:
FreeBSD 5.2.1
autoconf 2.59b (from sources)
automake 1.9.2 (from sources)
libtool 1.5.10 (from sources)
zsh 4.2.1 (from sources)
sh and bash are present.
configure script comes from Vaucanson project:
svn checkout https://svn.lrde.epita.fr/svn/vaucanson

For your information, same script was tested with autoconf 2.59 and the
problem didn't occured. I downgraded to autoconf 2.59, because of some
other issue with libtool : autoconf seems to fail to parametrize/find
libtool properly (I tried many versions of libtool). (But I didn't
formally isolated the bug as an autoconf bug, although It can be linked to
the unfound shell problem. The error message was, during "make",
../../../libtool:1: No such file or directory: /usr/bin/sed ....
).
