The first time I compiled vstserver-wine, all went well. I further built fst and subsequently jack_fst with only the usual "fixheaders" and (i think) no "mkinstalldir" file in the jack_fst top level directory. (copied from Automake directory). So I had it working for the first time ever!! Then I had to go and break it! :) I tried removing my locally built vers. of wine and installing the most recent from Thac's thinking it might work now. Rebuilt fst and jack fst to no avail. Odd thing was during this effort, I think that was when the "make" on jack_fst complained about needing Automake 1.7. So I installed it. It seemed to reside along side Automake 1.4. So I go back to recompile vstserver-wine...then I got the same error you did when building fst 1.6. I couldn't figure out what was different other than the installation of Automake 1.7...I uninstalled it and it built fine. R~
