Wouldn't: if [ ! -e /usr/share/aclocal/gettext.m4 ] ; then echo echo "You must have gettext installed to compile $PROJECT." DIE=1 fi be simpler? I am a little worried that there are systems where gettext.m4 will not be in that location. Using the result of $(aclocal --print-ac-dir) instead of /usr/share/aclocal would be a better option i.e. if [ ! -e $(aclocal --print-ac-dir)/gettext.m4 ] -- Andrew :) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
