Hi David, I applied the fixes to a fresh copy of 0.60.5 then tried: tar -xzf ../aspell-0.60.5.tar.gz md z cd z ../aspell-0.60.5/configure -srcdir=../aspell-0.60.5/ ./make <snip> cd gen; perl mk-dirs_h.pl /usr/local /usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60 /usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60 /usr/local/etc > dirs.h Can't open perl script "mk-dirs_h.pl": No such file or directory make[1]: *** [gen/dirs.h] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/digital/temp/z' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 This was tried with Mandriva 2007 and it appears to have problems with the dots where instead of -0.60.5 it sees 0.60 (see mk-dirs line above). I'm sure you're on the right path towards fixing the srcdir != builddir Jose _______________________________________________ Aspell-devel mailing list Aspell-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-devel
