that indicates a broken automake/autoconf installation. If you have automake installed somwhere different than what autoconf thinks, you'll have to add/set ACLOCAL_FLAGS (see the autogen.sh script) to help it out. Whats happening is that the configure.ac file has the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE macro, but that macro never gets defined and hence not expanded and it shows up directly in the configure script. Basically when autogen.sh calls aclocal, the wrong thing happens. -Dan _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
