php 4.4.7 configure run causes syntax errors

I sent this to the php-install list. However, with no response, I knew there would be more eyes looking at it here. Hopefully, someone can send me a pointer on how to resolve this issue, if it is one. I recently upgraded our php from 4.4.0 to 4.4.7. When I run configure from the command line with several options, I get the following errors at the beginning of the script run: ----- creating cache ./config.cache checking for egrep... grep -E checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /usr/bin/sed expr: syntax error ./configure[1732]: test: 0: unexpected operator/operand expr: syntax error ./configure[1747]: test: 0: unexpected operator/operand expr: syntax error ./configure[1747]: test: 0: unexpected operator/operand ----- The first error is always on line 1732. All the rest are on 1747. There is about one error for each option on the command line. It ends like this: ----- expr: syntax error ./configure[1747]: test: 0: unexpected operator/operand expr: syntax error ./configure[1747]: test: 0: unexpected operator/operand checking host system type... i386-unknown-openbsd3.6 checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes ----- It continues and completes without errors. Is this something I need to worry about? Here is the actual command I have been using recently: ----- ./configure \ --prefix=/usr/local/php4 \ --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs \ --enable-debug \ --disable-cgi \ --enable-force-cgi-redirect \ --enable-discard-path \ --enable-safe-mode \ --disable-short-tags \ --disable-ipv6 \ --enable-magic-quotes \ --with-openssl \ --with-pcre-regex \ --with-curl \ --with-curlwrappers \ --with-mcrypt \ --enable-session \ --with-mysql=/usr/local \ --with-mysql-sock=/var/www/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock ----- I am running on OpenBSD 3.6. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks in advance for any pointers you can provide. JohnM -- john mendenhall john@surfutopia.net surf utopia internet services
