Thanks, that fixes it for me. But would this work on a really, really old system? Wouldn't the general solution be to check for both HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R and STRERROR_R_CHAR_P? As you are apparently at home in the auto* stuff, something else: autogen.sh fails to make a symlink to the mkinstalldirs script. Any idea what's the cause of that? Benno
