Re: configure does not correctly identify some items

I'm replying to my own post, which was:

Running "configure" DID detect everything that was supposed to be 
detected.  However, the "config.h.in" file was extracted from the tar.gz 
with CRLF instead of LF (did not realize WinZip would do this ... 
grrrrr!).  This caused awk to not match any lines from "config.h.in", so 
no string substitution occurred, and the input file was passed unmodified 
to the output file.  A coworker who fell victim to the same thing 
recognized this (thanks, Dave R).

Thanks again for listening!

P.S.  I did subscribe to lame-dev this morning, but I guess the 
subscription request didn't get processed yet!
