[hylafax-users] ./configure and sed weirdness -- Help?!

[Grant Goodyear <grant@red-pc.ces.clemson.edu>]

When trying to install 4.1, 4.1.1, or CVS hylafax I get the following
error in ./configure:

======
Using "include file" syntax for Makefiles.
Using /bin/bash to process command scripts.

Missing C++ runtime support for g++ (/usr/bin/g++).

Compilation of the following test program failed:

----------------------------------------------------------
#include "iostream.h"
int main(){ cout << "Hello World!" << endl; return 0;}
----------------------------------------------------------

Usually this is because you do not have a standard C++ library
installed on your system or you have installed it in a non-standard
location.  If you do not have a C++ library installed, then you must
install it.  If it is installed in a non-standard location, then you
should configure the compiler so that it will automatically be found.

(For recent gcc releases this is libstdc++, for older gcc - libg++)

Unrecoverable error!  Once you've corrected the problem rerun this
script.
======

Taking a look at config.log, however, it's clear that the error
is not really C++ runtime:

======
++ cat dummy.C
#include "new.h"
struct foo {
    int x;
    foo();
    ~foo();
};
foo::foo() {}
foo::~foo() {}
int main()
{
    foo* ptr = 0;
    foo* a = new(ptr) foo;
    a->x = 0;
    delete a;
    return 0;
}
++ /usr/bin/g++ -o dummy dummy.C
++ make -f confMakefile t
confMakefile:5: *** missing separator.  Stop.
======

So I trudged through the ./configure script and made a one-line
addition:

======
# cat configure.patch

to discover that "missing separator" is a bit of an understatement:

======

Something is clearly going dramatically wrong.  Performing the sed 
commands in line 1355 of ./configure (in makeDefs()) seems to work
fine, so I'm horribly confused.  I'm using sed-3.02.80.

Thanks,
Grant Goodyear
