rcs configure hang

[Kelly Wang (kellythw)]

Hi Team,

 

I download rcs 5.10.0, untarred and try to run ./configure. 

However it is hang in 'checking whether getcwd handles long file names properly...' for more than 30+ min and still hang.

Can you let me know how to configure and install it?

The server I use to configure rcs is Red Hat 8.

% cat /etc/motd

Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.1 (Ootpa)
