Hello Tim, Autoconf is a set of *extensible* macros. Not just because it does not contain macro to test a particular "new" feature means it should be thrown away altogether with other useful functionalities. SELinux is not just a Fedora Core thingy, it applies as well to SuSE Linux and any other linux distribution that comply to SELinux. I hope to take on the configure issue as soon as my immediate horizon is cleared, so that we can conduct the discussion in less abstract terms. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
