Hello Alexandre! > Which version of Perl is this? v5.6.0, and you guessed right: everything passes/works happily on a perl v5.8.0rc2 machine. Copying the automake directory over from it to the v5.6.0 gets the error. In fact, simply ./automake gives the above error (no need for the "bootstrap" part) > I don't understand what you mean. Just trying to work out how such variables are meant to be used.. all the other am__* variables seem to appear in a "define_variable","subst", or "variable_value", just not am__installdirs. > I think Perl is just asking for quote around am__installdirs, > although I don't know why. Hmm and why one perl rather than another.. Cheers, Patrick
