A possible bash bug? |

Howdy,
I'm having a heck of a time trying to build my favorite vi look
alike (nvi) and I think I've found a bug. I'm not sure where it is
though, maybe behind my keyboard?
I'm running the configure file that's shipped with nvi-1.81.5 which
I have freshly downloaded. I'm on a solaris 2.8 system with a ton of
gnu software installed... most built by me but some packages from
sunfreeware.com...
Nvi uses the db3 or db4 software and that's the area in which
configure's apparently failing. I thought it might be a /bin/sh
problem which is suns sh so I switched to the latest bash (2.05b
with patches) hoping that this solves the problem. The problem
appears with this version of bash as well. I have clip'd part of the
build log created when I run configure with --no-reexec and -xv
flags set in configure itself. I displayed the LIBS variable just
before and just after the case statement below and both show up as
being empty. Am I mis-understanding the case statement or the
expression for the solaris* case or is this a bug?
Any/all help/hints/tips/suggestions/clues would be GREATLY
appreciated.
Regards and thanks for your time (hopefully NOT a wild goose chase),
George...
