Item13870: RCSStoreContrib configure check error by syntax shell command error in RCSChecker.pm

my $version = `$prog --version -V 2&>1` || ''; change to my $version = `$prog --version -V 2>&1` || '';

Could you give a bit more information about this error? What platform? And what is the syntax error? Could you post a snip of the error log? It's not failing here. Thanks. (I plan to rework this checker a bit - Too many strange combinations on different platforms, and the returned version strings are very different.)

this simple error when somebody typing code. it produсes error message in RCSStoreContrib only and file with name "1" in /bin directory foswiki. you can see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redirection_%28computing%29 what means 2>&1 in unix shell.

this the usual thing )))

This is the problem where the configure script says "rcs did not return a version number (or might not exist..)"? Edited lib/Foswiki/Configure/Checkers/RCSChecker.pm as given above. Works. Hurray for interpreted languages.
