I'm trying to develop a PHP extension on the mac. I am getting the 
following error when using buildconfig

awk: syntax error in regular expression ^(\]* *)) at 


Any ideas how to fix this. There were some other errors but I have fixed 
those. This error seems to be coming from the call to gobble at line 156 
of buildconfig from PHP version 4.3.7.

     Please take such issues to Apple.  If they provide
     substandard tools in a completely new OS, it is their duty to
     improve the quality of their toolset.  It makes no sense
     whatsoever that every opensource project works around their
     deficiencies.

Do you mean 'buildconf' ??
If so, try updateing your auto tools to newer versions. I have OSX10.2 with
autoconf 2.52 and libtool 1.5 -- running ./buildconf --force in a freshly
un-tarred 4.3.7 release works great.

http://us4.php.net/manual/en/faq.build.php  may have some info on the
autoconf versions you'll need.
