Nope, that's not the question :-) It could be any program, I just happened to be running configure at the time.
Damn as configure is really good at logging ;)
I want to search what is displayed on the screen. I *could* redirect it to a file, but it would be far easier to search the 'screen'. Saves faffing around with files and then deleting them, etc. The question is probably very generic - 'using X11 how can I search an xterm's output' may have been better. The fact I am using redhat/KDE and was running configure is not important.
"screen" has a "copy" mode (control-a then Escape) that allows the buffer to be searched (? or /) cut and pasted. You probably need to set a decent default buffer size, and change your terminal emulators to run screen automagically (etc etc). bash doesn't, gpm doesn't, xterm doesn't AFAIK.... -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
