Re: problems building GraphThing on Red Hat 7.3

[Lia Adams <Lia_Adams@ieee.org>]

On my newly-installed Red Hat 7.3 system, 
I can't even get the configure script to run.  
From what I can tell, it's due to some
incompatibility between the bash upgrades
in 7.3 and earlier version.  It constantly
reports unknown commands, usually about white
space!

I've been sedulously going through the script
tweaking white space, comments, and semi-colons
to get the script to run a little farther each
time before dying.  
I suspect there is magic I could put in a dot
file to make it all run smoothly, especially
if Dave S can run the script with no trouble 
on Red Hat 7.3.  
If anyone who can configure on Red Hat 7.3
has useful lines from their .bashrc, .cshrc, 
or .login that could make the differece,
would they please forward them to me?

Thanks so much for your help.  Eager to 
build GraphThing in my new environment,
