GNU Emacs 21.3.50 cannot configure

[Peter Dyballa]

In GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin7.7.0, GTK+ Version 2.4.9) 
of 2005-01-27 on localhost

doing a "./configure --with-carbon --prefix=/Library/Application\ 
Support/Emacs --enable-carbon-app=/Applications/GNU_Emacs --without-x 
--without-pop" leads to this end:

config.status: creating src/config.h
config.status: src/config.h is unchanged
config.status: executing default commands
creating src/epaths.h
sed: 1: "s;\(#.*PATH_LOADSEARCH\ ...": unescaped newline inside 
substitute pattern
make: *** [epaths-force] Error 1
creating lib-src/Makefile
creating src/Makefile

The cause obviously is this line in Makefile:

prefix=/Library/Application Support/Emacs


There too is no way to teach GNU Emacs before compilation to augment 
its LOADPATH by

/Library/Application Support/Emacs:/Library/Application 
Support/Emacs/reftex:/Library/Application 
Support/Emacs/auctex/images:/Library/Application 
Support/Emacs/auctex:/Library/Application Support/Emacs/preview

to have it quite early prepared to load newer versions of these 
packages. When I include these paths into epaths.in they're lost during 
configure. I have to change epath.h after configure and before 
compilation.


In Mac OS X /Library/Application Support or ~/Library/Application 
Support are the usual paths to any application support files.
