HACKING says: If you build from VCS the tools in the first 4 lists are always needed. For running build_aux/bootstrap (necessary after VCS checkout) / reconfigure: o autoconf 2.64 o automake 1.10.1 o libtool 2.2.6 o m4 1.4.12 I'm quite sure the part *running build_aux/bootstrap (necessary after VCS checkout)* should be more obvious. Can you please suggest a patch/new version? Simon
