speechd-up errors revisited

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'd like to point out that if you have automake 1.7 and automake 1.9 on Debian
Sarge, automake --version will show 1.7.  You have to pick a version of automake
and go with it or find some other way to get around the problem.
