Hi,

I suppose I could set up a series of aliases for the differences between the bashes. But I would like to know why the same source code compiles differently on different system without going through the code itself. I can't seem to find any explanation anywhere online to explain what I am seeing, and there is nothing in the configure docs on it.

But this is not a major problem for me, it is just that I got used to the way bash works under Linux, hence I often use syntax like 'ls * -la' rather than the more standard 'ls -l *'. And I seem to be looking up man pages quite a lot these days to find out what the syntax is for common commands.

Thanks,
