My suggestion is remove the older version of automake unless you really have to keep it for some obscure piece of software compilation. Having more than one version of automake on a system almost always causes hassles. I've had this problem and I've had to help others with this problem in the past. The usual problem is that the automake soft link is pointing to the wrong automake-1.* version or you have two automake softlinks in different locations which are being picked up separately. Delete automake 1.4 and fix up the automake link. Often the link points to places like /opt/... or /etc/alternatives/... which in turn points back to /usr/bin/automake-1.* Paul _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list Flightgear-users@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
