Well, I did it again the followin way: 1) gtar xvzf zah-3.0.1.tar.gz 2) cd zsh-3.0.1 3) patch -N < ../diffs-test2 4) ./configure --enable-etcdir=/usr/local/etc -- may be pathch -N is wrong ? 5) cd .. 6) diff -r -b -c zsh-*-test[12] | less (I now did it in LINUX too, with the same result) The diff shows, that the whole check for 'working named fifos' is 'eliminated' by the diffs. *-test1/config.h contains. /* Define to 1 if system has working FIFO's */ #define HAVE_FIFOS 1 *-test2/config.h contains. /* Define to 1 if system has working FIFO's */ /* #undef HAVE_FIFOS */ (I tried reinserting the lines which were shown with '- ..' in the diff, and then I get the 'old' result as in *-test1.) May be the Version in *-test2 is correct ? And HAVE_FIFOS is set somewhere else ? Clueless...
