These are completely errors during the ./buildgen.sh process. I'm really curious if there are errors during this step. When autoconf doesn't understand one of the macros used in configure.ac, it often just lets it drop through to the end configure script, and then you get funky errors like the above, when it tries to run the macro instead of having actual code to run. This seems to have happened with the AM_ICONV macro and the AX_C_CHECK_FLAG macro, which seems to indicate there's something really broken with autoconf on Fedora 11, or there is something new that ./buildgen.sh hasn't taken into account. As an experiment, try the following on a clean git clone: ./buildgen.sh cleanall ./buildgen.sh Does this create a working configure? Do you always run ./buildgen.sh as the same user? If not, try this: ./buildgen.sh cleanall autoreconf -ifv Thanks, - Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Are you an open source citizen?
