Hi,

When I try running the configure script on Ubuntu I get:

daniel@bah:~/src/boost$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/boost test: 180: ==: unexpected operator test: 193: ==: unexpected operator test: 213: ==: unexpected operator test: 218: ==: unexpected operator test: 222: ==: unexpected operator test: 226: ==: unexpected operator test: 243: ==: unexpected operator

This is because Ubuntu now links /bin/sh to dash (the script works fine when called with bash). The bash man page says:

string1 == string2 True if the strings are equal. = may be used in place of == for strict POSIX compliance.

So I've attached a patch which uses '=' instead of '==' which seems to do the trick.

Thanks! I'm hacking on the configure script now to make it BBv2- ready, so I've committed this patch. Cheers, Doug
