Instead of removing things by hand, why not use a simple "make clean"? If that does not clean enough (probably a bug upstream), then you can remove other things explicitly. By the way, the files in question are "config.cache", "config.log", and "config.status". Have a careful look at the lintian "E" line you quoted above. -S -- by Rocket to the Moon, by Airplane to the Rocket, by Taxi to the Airport, by Frontdoor to the Taxi, by throwing back the blanket and laying down the legs ... - They Might Be Giants
