Bug#101579: patch for seg faults in configure on IA-64



Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20001218-4
Severity: serious

The configure script in the texk/kpathsea directory seg faults when running
the test program that checks whether putenv uses malloc.  The problem is that
the test program doesn't include enough headers, and implicit declarations on
IA-64 almost always don't do what you want.

The fix is easy, that test program needs to

	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <string.h>

so that there aren't any implicitly declared library functions.  The package
builds cleanly once this change is made.  

This is release critical because it's a "can't build from source"
problem for an architecture planning to release with woody.
