Re: Segmentation fault when running 'configure'

Yes, running Bourne shell. The prompt is like plum:.*$

The environment is a a fairly conservative Linux environment. It's a
shared web server so I don't have root access (alas). My only access is
remote telnet. However, I've been able to install various perl modules,
for instance, without too much difficulty.

There was a core file generated. Ran the following gdb cmd:

plum:~/curl$ gdb -c core

Core was generated by `sh ./configure --prefix=/home/mydir/curl --with-ssl'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
