Hi, thank you for replying.
First, the configure script is *REALLY* Bourne Shell (/bin/sh)
script because the 1-st line of this script is
#! /bin/sh
Therefore, whether bash is installed or not is NOT relative
to this, except the case where /bin/sh is actually bash. It
is probable that /bin/sh is actually bash on MinGW and Cygwin.
Second, the '==' comparison primary is NOT supported by
Bourne Shell (/bin/sh) on the following systems:
FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE
FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE
SunOS 5.8 (sparc)
SunOS 5.9 (i386)
Nothing on the '==' primary could I find in the manual
test(1) of these 4 systems.
In executing the following line:
[ "5" == "5" ]
Bourne Shell complains with the error message such as
[: 5: unexpected operator
test: unknown operator ==
I attach the result on the FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE box.

Actually, the following error message was printed in
executing the configure script on the FreeBSD box.
checking for GLUT library... no
---> test: x: unexpected operator
configure: creating ./config.status
Anyway,

thank you very much. I hope that you remember to re-create
the configure script after modifying configure.ac.
Thanks,
