zsh-3.1.3: configure fails on Solaris 2.5.1

[Dima Barsky]

I've just downloaded the latest zsh-3.1.3 and tried to compile it.
The configure script failed with the following messages:

....
updating cache ./config.cache
creating ./config.status
creating Makefile
sed: can't read :Makefile.in: No such file or directory
creating Doc/Makefile
sed: can't read :Doc/Makefile.in: No such file or directory

sed: can't read :Etc/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
creating Src/Makefile
sed: can't read :Src/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
creating config.h
cat: :config.h.in: No such file or directory


I wonder if something is wrong with my system configuration, or is it
a real bug? I used autoconf before on the same machine, everything
seemed to be all right.

Regards,
Dima.

It's a real bug (although not necessarily in zsh).  For a quick fix,
use a different shell to do the configuring:

bash ./configure ...

say.  zsh when run as sh apparently also works.

zsh run as sh is probably the simplest answer for existing zsh users:
from zsh just do

	ARGV0=sh zsh ./configure

Are you going to release your CVS/RCS tree too?  The zsh-3.1.2 RCS is not
even on the archive, which is strange since the zsh-3.1.1 RCS tree is
there.  The 3.1.2 RCS tree has 3.1.1 too.  The 3.1.2 RCS tree can still
be found at ftp://ftp.cs.elte.hu/pub/zsh-old/zsh-RCS.tar.gz
