Then what you should have done was simply remove or fix the "buildreq" for 
netpbm.  Figure out what provides "giftopnm", for instance, on your platform.

the files were not produced.

It doesn't error out on any platform that I've tested... What release of 
autoconf/automake are you using?  If it's a bug, it's probably a bug in 
one of those packages.

EJ> I'llsee if I can get that info. I've seen many references to this problem 
on Internet but nowhere that the developers of autoconf/automake jumped in to 
present a solution. Autoconf -v gives version 2.59 by McKenzie
Automake --version gives version 1.9.4 (Tom Tromey RedHat)
Is that too old? Both are installed by default on Mandriva 2006.0.

It's provided by "mailcap" on Red Hat systems, at least.  I'm not sure 
if the format of the file provided by cups is supported by Courier.

EJ> I will install mailcap. RH and Mandriva are rather close to each other.

Again thanks
