[Radiance-general] rad3R5 from latest stable cvs doesn't compile

[tom]

Hi all,

I'm having problems compiling radiance from sources from 
radiance-online cvs. I downloaded the stable tarball and am able to 
compile most of the executables, but it errors in the src/px dir every 
time. It seems that the tiff directory is the cause of the problem. It 
appears that the configure script is borked in some way. I have run the 
script manually and end up with the same results:

It seems to fill the resulting Makefile with random spew

is all one line. This behaviour continues in the version, libdirs, 
machine type, and random(?) lines throughout the file. This causes make 
to bomb out with a missing separator error during the compile.

I'm wondering if this is a local toolchain problem, or if anyone else 
has experienced this behaviour. I'm compiling on a linux system 
(gentoo), which has been compiled from scratch using this same toolchain 
- gcc 3.2.1, glibc 2.3.1, and the gnu toolset. I have invoked the 
makeall script from a tcsh shell.

any ideas?
