My bad. But all the above still remains. This is all due to nonexisting Fortran compiler. The requirement for AC_PROG_F77 is due to a limitation in Libtool-1.4.x which is also present in 1.5.x but not in CVS HEAD, the non-fatal-failure of AC_PROG_F77 if not called before all other AC_PROG_* is due to how current Autoconf implements AC_PROG_* and is bound to change at some point in the future because it is inconsistent and does not match the documentation fully, but there are packages out there (Libtool being one but not the only of them) that expect differing and conflicting behaviors of these macros. We have agreed to attack this issue only after Autoconf-2.60. You can simply ignore the errors you are seeing for now. Or install a Fortran compiler, if you like. :-) Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
