Hello, I just upgraded our site to autoconf 2.59. I had to make a hand edit to the autoreconf perl script. I had to change line 489 from: mkdir $aux_dir or error "cannot create $aux_dir: $!"; to: mkdir $aux_dir, 755 or error "cannot create $aux_dir: $!"; That is the mkdir command requires two arguments, and the autoreconf script was only passing one. Is this a Perl version thing? We are on Perl 5.005_03. I do have a faint memory that someone on the list was thinking of dropping Perl 5.0 support. Also, has 2.59 gotten a lot more picky about quoting arguments to M4 macros? I get a number of warnings stating "incomplete quoting . . ." or something like that. Thanks, Stanford S.
