Hi there,

I was trying to run ' ./configure --disable-kvm --disable-bareflank --disable-file ' under libvmi dir, and I got:

~/Downloads/drakvuf/libvmi> ./configure --disable-kvm --disable-bareflank --disable-file

./configure: line 13920: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./configure: line 13920: ` '''

line 13920 of 'configure' only contains three single quotation marks ('''). Simply deleting them did not help.

'autoreconf -vif' has been successfully finished before I try './configure'. I'm using ubuntu 22.04 jammy.
