Re: configure complexity

[Mona Pinjani]

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the quick reply. There is no install-sh in $HOME. Here is the
output you requested
-bash-4.1$ build-aux/config.guess
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
-bash-4.1$ grep 'Generated by GNU Autoconf' configure
# Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69 for Complexity 1.0.
