I don't recall this happening on the first go-around or if it did what I
did to fix it  or if I just got lucky.  The file is definitely missing.

About the only strange, quirky thing is that when untarring the file,
getting a warning msg regards time stamp set to the epoch on some of the
files. Am I grabbing a wrong copy?  Using the "developers" hyper-link to
get the tarball.  Also I don't have CVS set up on this machine, but
don't believe that is an absolute requirement to get the latest copy.

tar: FlightGear/utils/fgadmin/src: implausibly old time stamp 1969-12-31
16:00:00

tar: FlightGear/utils/fgadmin/visualc/fgadmin: implausibly old time
stamp 1969-12-31 16:00:00
tar: FlightGear/utils/fgadmin/visualc: implausibly old time stamp
1969-12-31 16:00:00
tar: FlightGear/utils/fgadmin: implausibly old time stamp 1969-12-31
16:00:00

And so forth...

Hmmm,  is the command aborting before all the files have been untarred
which is why the configure.ac file is missing?

Any suggestions??


I just tried downloading a source tarball from the cvs interactive browser and everything  seemed in order.  I see a configure.ac file in the source.tar.gz and it's not complaining about any odd dates.  Perhaps try downloading again?  This .tar.gz file is created on the fly so maybe something went haywire?
