Hi,

Why are u compiling and installing from source.

Binary Software for bash in Depot format is available for various versions of HP-UX.

Check link given below.

Hi,



If u still insists to use source u have to note
that the default location for executables
compiled from source is in /usr/local

Investigate the config.log

just check if this dir exists and permissions on it.

Also u can change the default location for executables by giving arguments to ./configure

try

./configure --help


Regards

Sounds like a GCC problem.

Well? Are you waiting for a psychic to read
your config.log remotely?

download bash and its dependent packages from http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Shells/bash-3.1.17/
note: dependencies gcc,gettext,libiconv,make
Unzip the packages using gunzip
install the dependencies first using swinstall and install bash last
