I had no problems with gcc-3.02, automake-1.5, autoconf-2.52 but just tried to make distclean on Alice's system with 2.95.2.1, automake-1.4, autoconf-2.13 and got the error: Making distclean in lib make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/alice/lyx-devel/lib' make[1]: *** no rule to make target `../config.status', needed by `Makefile'. Stop I'm updating A's auto-x and will see what happens. --- Yuchh. I was not able to recover from automake-1.4. Everything I tried (removing .deps etc) failed in getting a make distclean. I finally rm -rf'd lyx-devel and did another checkout. Along the way I tried automake-1.6 (and 1.5), with no success, but it seems that once make distclean fails, you have to start from scratch. The big problem was from src/Makefile starting at line 660, with lots of no rule to make blah.Po's It would appear that the INSTALL directives need to be a bit more explicit about versions of autoconf and/or automake.
And yes, I did clean out the old versions of autoxxx that were laying around in /usr/bin Garst
