Yup, that's the problem. test expects one string on each side of the != 
and "no blaa in ..." doesn't go over too well. Then when you try to 
build a partially configured source tree things really go downhill.

Are you building the plugins? Regular myth configure seems OK. Do you 
have sdl (synaesthesia output)? I don't and that's the first which that 
fails for me. Later there's one for pkg-config that fails too.

I assume the redirection in a line like

	if test x`which pkg-config 2>/dev/null` != x"" ; then

is trying to work around noisy which programs but Apple's writes its 
error message to stdout. Grrr!
