[MPlayer-users] Re: Configure bug

[Christian]

Alright. I guess the default behavior modification of grep did affect other 
unrelated areas as well, since I get lots of weird errors even when compiling 
with --disable-big-endian.

All the problems disappear when I do an "unset GREP_OPTIONS" 
before ./configure... So this may be the ultimate solution.

Btw I'm not sure this grep environment variable is such a good thing. It does 
break many shell scripts and has other unpleasant effects (e.g., there's no 
option to switch back to case-sensitive mode). So the best thing might as 
well be to remove it completely from my .zprofile.

I crosspost to the list so everyone gets the final word for the story :-)

Thanks for your help !
