IIRC, autogen checks for versionned automakes and aclocals to see if newer versions are installed in parallel to the non-versionned ones. I think it misses the latest (1.8 and 1.9, and just checks for 1.7 or 1.6) I modified my autogen.sh to test for newer versions of automake: echo -n "checking for automake >= $AUTOMAKE_REQUIRED_VERSION ... " if (automake-1.7 --version) < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1; then AUTOMAKE=automake-1.7 ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.7 elif (automake-1.8 --version) < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1; then AUTOMAKE=automake-1.8 ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.8 elif (automake-1.9 --version) < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1; then AUTOMAKE=automake-1.9 ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.9 elif (automake-1.6 --version) < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1; then AUTOMAKE=automake-1.6 ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.6 else ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plaats je zoekertjes GRATIS op AdValvas Placez votre petite annonce GRATUITEMENT sur AdValvas http://www.advalvas.be
