Slackware Linux
>Description:
The net/hobbitmon package from pkgsrc exits configure when using bash as /bin/sh shell - this is the case with Slackware Linux. The problematic part of the configure script looks like:

if ...
then
...
else
#
#
fi

(the hash signs are actually injected by patch-ae).

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to install hobbitmon from pkgsrc on with bash as /bin/sh.
>Fix:
comment out also the ``else'' with patch-ae:
