Does that not work for you?Unfortunately not, as grep gets installed as ggrep to allow explicit selection of greps. Sorry, I didn't thought of this when I wrote my previous email. Looks like for me the explicit selection with --with-grep=/opt/csw/bin/ggrep would be best.That's not needed, since zgrep can already accommodate that. Just set the GREP envvar to the name you happen to use: export GREP=ggrep Then, it should "just work".
Ok, but this would also move the burden of "fixing" to the enduser, whereas I as packages could take care of it by hardcoding the path with a configure option. In your usecase you assume the user of gzip is also the person who is compiling it. In my case this is not true as I am compiling it for other people who use it and expect to use it without any modifications from them apart from installing the package, and I cannot change the user environment at package installation.
