I configured plain vanilla again, but still get 'make' errors. FWIW 'zsh.mdd' was there, but it's a file, not a directory. I deleted it and tried again. This time: config.status: executing config.modules commands creating ./config.modules ./config.status: 41: ./config.modules.sh: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting ")") Makefile:378: recipe for target 'config.modules' failed make: *** [config.modules] Error 2 ... I noticed that 'config.modules.sh' was much shorter than before, so I copied in an untouched version. Reran './configure' and 'make -s' but the error was the same. I tried again in a virgin copy and './configure --enable-zsh-debug' worked fine, so whatever was wrong above must have been something I did and it's probably not worth worrying about, but if anyone does have an insight into what went wrong, and why I can't restore it, I'd be grateful. Particularly that 'zsh.mdd' being a file, not a directory, seems very strange.
