Actually, I would suggest, in case a build tree is already around, ( PATH=$build/tests:$PATH; autoreconf -vi ) (the subshell so $PATH is not permanently damaged, and the semicolon, so autoreconf is taken from the current tree, too, if present), or for simplicity, since users are likely to build in-tree anyway, ( PATH=`pwd`/tests:$PATH; autoreconf -vi ) Cheers, Ralf
