Re: [bug-gawk] Problem in installing gawk on OS X 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion)

Hello.

You did not specify the system you're using but I'm guessing it
is Mac OS X since I had a similar problem report.

I think this patch will do the trick. You should should do 'make
distclean', then apply the patch.  Then touch configh.in and configure
after applying it in the hope that the auto* machinery won't kick in. Then
run configure and rebuild.

Please let me know if this works.

Thanks,

Arnold
