Hi Peter,

When LIGO users try and condor compile our code using a gnu autoconf  
generated configure script, the condor_compile prints out lots of  
error messages. There is no actual error, as the linker returns with  
status code 0, so the configure completes fine. Is there any way  
these error messages can be suppressed, as they are confusion our  
users? People think that there is a problem, when they can just type  
make and continue fine.

Cheers,
Duncan.

Oh my, did you folks do a "full install" of stduniv on that machine? This
is where /usr/bin (or applicable)/ld is replaced by our ld script and
the original is moved to /usr/bin (or applicable)/ld.real?

What exactly is /usr/lib64/ld on that machine? Is it a real binary or
a Condor script?

I'm very surprised that this configure script would find or utilize our
condor_compile or ld scripts, unless the person specifically had 
a condor path set up before their system paths to find it or you did
a full install.

Could I see the command they ran too to generate that?

Thank you.

resolving this one for now -- duncan will do more homework since it now
looks like a problem w/ one of his configure macros.
