If $PATH has another version of tar which would be found
before the gnu tar, even though one explicitly puts it on the
configure commandline, the #ifdef's in runtar.c don't appear
to pick it up and hence its not compiled in; all that gets compiled
in are the messages bitching about not having gnu tar.

Don't think so. IMHO.


Or something like that.

By setting my $PATH at configure time so that /usr/local/bin
was at the front, I got a build on Sloarsis which works with
gnu tar!

Bug in the configure script? Or am I misunderstanding something?

Forgot to run "make distclean" before you "./configure"?
