Hi, I tried to run configure for rsync 2.6.0 on a Debian stable system. It hangs on configure line 7842 : if (eval "$ac_cpp conftest.$ac_ext") 2>&5 | $EGREP "yes" >/dev/null 2>&1; then rsync_cv_HAVE_GETADDR_DEFINES=yes else rsync_cv_HAVE_GETADDR_DEFINES=no fi EGREP seems to be null and the yes command is executed forever. I replaced $EGREP with egrep and it works as expected. I hope it can help. Nicolas.

By the way, I diffed the two configure.in files and find many lines changed only with a extra white space at end of line. Is someone using a a weird editor in your team ? Nicolas, happy rsync user.
