I discussed it with Justin Erenkrantz on IRC, and he posted something about it to the svn list (in response to my commit of this patch to the FreeBSD port). I think he CC'd the apr list with that, but I'm not possitive, as I'm not on that list at the moment. The problem is that top_blddir isn't getting set in the Makefile, due to some change in the way that the new autoconf does variable substitution. The patch I committed to the port fixes the simple case, but apparently (according to Justin) breaks other things in the build (builddir != srcdir I believe). -garrett -- garrett rooney Unix was not designed to stop you from [EMAIL PROTECTED] doing stupid things, because that would http://electricjellyfish.net/ stop you from doing clever things.
