Re: Error running configure for subversion 1.7.0

Thanks for the ideas. I was using /bin/sh (my call to configure is in a
shell script). I tried /usr/xpg4/bin/sh, but I still get the same error. I
also tried changing the configure script to call echo $output_flags, but no
change. :/

Thanks very much for the ideas, though.
