Helo

what i have:

$ uname -a
SunOS 5.10 Generic_118844-26 i86pc i386

$ cd exim-4.67

then I edit a Local/Makefile and run

$ make

it creates directory build-SunOS5-5.10-i386
and compiles exim without errors
then

$ make install
Installation directory is /usr/local/bin

2007-05-28 10:21:48 regular expression error: nothing to repeat at
offset 20 while compiling ^\d\d\d\s(?:\d\.\d\d?\d?\.\d\d?\d?\s)?

*** Could not run ./exim to find version number ***
*** Exim installation failed ***
*** Error code 1
The following command caused the error:
cd build-${build:-`/bin/sh scripts/os-type`-`/bin/sh scripts/arch-type`}; \
        build= /bin/sh ../scripts/exim_install
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install'



I discover that the first error message is from exim itself

$ build-SunOS5-5.10-i386/exim
2007-05-28 10:23:26 regular expression error: nothing to repeat at
offset 20 while compiling ^\d\d\d\s(?:\d\.\d\d?\d?\.\d\d?\d?\s)?

WHERE TO LOOK ?!
