> How can I make sure user has at least gcc4 installed? (after establishing that the compiler is gcc), and doing AC_PROG_AWK: version=`$CXX -v 2>&1 | $AWK -F'[ .]' '/version/{print $3}'` should do the job. There are some reasons for doing this (bigish changes in standards compliance in g++ 4 compared to g++ 3), but you should probably check to see if you're not being overly restrictive before implementing this test. -Ed -- (You can't go wrong with psycho-rats.)
