Look at automake --version to confirm. The most recent stable version is 1.11. If you are using something older than 1.9, please update it before going on; you might also want to (and have to) update Autoconf, too (latest is 2.64, and you shouldn't go further than 2.59). Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
