The following steps to build from CVS worked without any problem in RedHat Linux 9 and with very little prob (but manageable) in Solaris9. Somebody can try them on other platforms. I dont expect much disappointments. ***************************** INITIAL STEPS: At top level of SASL dir rm -rf autom4te.cache Then, cd saslauthd rm -rf autom4te.cache cd .. Main steps: 1)At top level dir, run autoheader 2)Run aclocal -I cmulocal -I config 3)Run autoconf 4)Run automake If this complains that INTALL is not there,just run $touch INSTALL and then run automake or else the error from automake would itself suggest you to rerun automake with an option(--add-missing). 5)Go to saslauthd dir 6)Run aclocal -I ../cmulocal -I ../config 7)Run autoconf 8)Run autoheader 9)Run automake 10)Come to top level again 11)Run ./configure 12)Run gmake ***************************** --Biswatosh --- "Roberto C.
