Hello Owen, i have to say sorry and yes, it compiles if automake17 is installed. what happened ? i got the automake packages 1.4 - 1.7 from tu-chemnitz.de mirror, installed them and did not see, that automake17 was simple a corrupt download, so rpm won`t install it. i checked this out, just after i read your mail here and sorry, i found this was my error. after new download and installing automake17, the gtk+ cvs source autogen.sh works fine. i do not know, why i did not see that, but thx ppl and sorry for traffic. regards Michael Am Do, den 05.08.2004 schrieb Owen Taylor um 15:27: > On Thu, 2004-08-05 at 08:48, M.Clasen wrote: > > Am Do, den 05.08.2004 schrieb John Ellson um 13:32: > > > M.Clasen wrote: > > > > > > >hi ppl, > > > > > > > >i like to recompile the gtk+ package from the gnome cvs. > > > > > > > >while calling ./autoconf, there comes an error, autoconfs depends > > > >automake-1.7. > > > > > > > >i got the sources for automake 1.9, rebuild it fine and tryed again, > > > >but the autoconf script of gtk+ likes only automake 1.7. > > > > > > > >i tryed to edit the autoconf script, but i go on thin ice there and got > > > >other errors underlaying my missediting of the gtk+ cvs autoconf script. > > > > > > > >how can i compile the gtk+ cvs sources, what must i do here ? > > > > > > > >must i downgrade automake to 1.7 ?? > > > > > > > >regardz > > > > > > > >Michael > > > > Have you installed all of the automake rpms?
