Problems running autoscan
$ autoscan autom4te: configure.ac: no such file or directory autoscan: /usr/bin/autom4te failed with exit status: 1 This is a puzzling message, since the purpose of autoscan, as I understand it, is to produce a file which, if blessed by me, becomes configure.ac. So why would it complain that configure.ac is missing? Does this just indicate that autoscan does additional stuff for people who have configure.ac, or is something wrong? $ autoscan --version autoscan (GNU Autoconf) 2.59 Written by David J.

Do you have the autoconf2.13 package installed as well? If so, does behavior change if you remove it? -- It was then I realized how dire my medical situation was. Here I was, a network admin, unable to leave, and here was someone with a broken network. And they didn't ask me to fix it. They didn't even try to casually pry a hint out of me. --Ryan Tucker in the Monastery ___ Autoconf mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
