I installed 2.59, thanks.

Thank you! I'd be swell if the error message:

config.status: creating Makefile
sed: file ./confstatLjvKgu/subs-5.sed line 41: Unterminated `s' command
config.status: creating Rules.make

was somehow a little more informative, in terms of reporting the line in
the original configure.in where the invalid variable value was possibly
set. So I wouldn't have to harass you folks.

It seems to be a bug in the way I'm parsing the CPU speed
from /proc/cpuinfo. The RedHat kernel I mentioned before was MP. The
problem happens with SMP, since there are two lines in the output
of /proc/cpuinfo that report the processor speed. 

Thanks again.
