Thanks for the warning. I know very little about BSD's shell (I don't even know what the default BSD shell is). FWIW, the need for bash is mentioned in INSTALL.txt (although I admit I thought it would work under other shells). Does anyone care enough to fix configure to work properly on BSD?

Hi,
Just ran ./configure using Python 2.2.2. I got the following output: (on FreeBSD 5.0)
Configuring Zope installation
Testing for an acceptable Python interpreter...
Python version 2.2.2 found at /usr/local/bin/python let: arith: syntax error: "i = i + 1"
let: arith: syntax error: "i = i + 1"
[: 1: unexpected operator let: arith: syntax error: "i = i + 1"

[: 1: unexpected operator let: arith: syntax error: "i = i + 1"
FreeBSD's shell doesn't support let "i=i+1" constructs: It works fine if I change the shell to /usr/local/bin/bash. An ugly fix seems to be to rename configure to configure.bash and create a configure such as: #!/bin/sh # force bash shell `which bash` ./configure.bash Other fix is to explain in the docs that you need to run bash ./configure on systems such as FreeBSD
Anybody knows a nicer way to fix this?
