After some digging in the code I found that with three simple changes to the distribution file I could compile insight.
Here's the diff:
diff -r insight-6.4/tcl/unix/configure insight-6.4-patched/tcl/unix/configure
5508c5508
< system=MP-RAS-`awk '{print }' /etc/.relid'`
---

As you can see a single quote (') within backquotes is disturbing the shell interpreter. Maybe the 'bash' coming with Fedora Core 5 (bash-3.1-6.2) is not compatible with configure scripts you provide.
Best Regards.

Yup, that was a well-known problem with that release. A mailing list
search would have turned up the patch to fix it. Typically, I don't
respin releases, but I think putting up a tarball with that one change
should be done.
So I am going to do it, even though 6.5 is right around the corner.
I apologize for not doing this sooner.

Dear Sirs,
I'm trying to compile insight (v6.4) on my Fedora Core 5 Linux (kernel 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5smp). I'm doing the following (I've added a blank line before prompt in order to improve the readability):
[maxp@Linuxmrd2 ~]$ tar xvfj insight-6.4.tar.bz2
[maxp@Linuxmrd2 ~]$ mkdir build
[maxp@Linuxmrd2 ~]$ cd build
[maxp@Linuxmrd2 build]$ ../insight-6.4/configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
[some output cut]
checking if symbolic links between directories work... yes
updating cache ./config.cache
creating ./config.status
creating Makefile
[maxp@Linuxmrd2 build]$ make
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/maxp/work/build'
mkdir -p -- ./libiberty
Configuring in ./libiberty
configure: creating cache ./config.cache
[some output cut]
checking if 64bit support is requested... no
checking if 64bit Sparc VIS support is requested... no
checking system version (for dynamic loading)... ../../../insight-6.4/tcl/unix/configure: line 7061: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
../../../insight-6.4/tcl/unix/configure: line 7061: ` OSF*)'
configure: error: ../../../insight-6.4/tcl/unix/configure failed for unix
make[1]: *** [configure-tcl] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/maxp/work/build'
make: *** [all] Error 2
[maxp@Linuxmrd2 build]$
I had a look at tcl/unix/configure, but I am no such a shell wizard to fully understand what's going on... apparently there is one or more syntax errors and that's too weird to me to be true :-).
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance.
