I tried to chain reinplace a file? i.e. reinplace "s|@@PREFIX@@|${prefix}|g" \ "s|@@CFLAGS@@|${configure.cflags} ${PICFLAG}|g" \ "s|@@CC@@|${configure.cc}|g” ${worksrcpath}_SHARED/Make.inc but this failed. Is there another way besides breaking them up into separate reinplace statements? Mark Brethen mark.brethen at gmail.com
