I don't think it's right to modify Makefile.am just for a particular system setup that has a slightly wonky m4 directory, and /opt/share/aclocal isn't all that wonky in my opinion. I could tell people to do aclocal -I /opt/share/aclocal ; autoheader ; autopoint ; libtoolize ; autoconf ; automake as well, but hopefully we've all moved on from there now. ACLOCAL='aclocal -I /opt/share/aclocal' autoreconf seems to work, but seems suboptimal given that autoreconf has a -I option. So, I think it's a bug, and I'll submit a patch. cheers, -- Clinton Roy CSIRO - Robotics Platform Engineer Autonomous Systems Lab humbug.org.au - Brisbane Unix Group azure.humbug.org.au/~croy/blog - Blog flickr.com/photos/croy/ - Photos
