256 character limit - having problems configuring stuff


Hi,

I'm trying to configure php (./configure ....) on solaris (via ssh to a remote machine). Anyway, I'm unable to add more parameters to the configure string after 256 characters have been reached (on the command line). I also tried making a text file and piping it the input, but that didn't help either. Anyone have any suggestions so I can get all my parameters to the configure command. Thanks in advance....

Temporarily - just type bash at the prompt.
Permenantly - edit the line containing your username in /etc/passwd so that the last column (columns are seperated by : ) reads the full path to bash. If you don't know the path to bash (usually /bin/bash) then:

which bash
