Hello,
I would like express my thanks for the help from the hurd-l4 community with my problem in configuring hurd-l4. The core problem turned indeed out to be the version of autoconf, but I had to install some sw packages as well. More specificly: I had to install automake-1.9 and autoconf2.50, and after that run "ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.9 AUTOMAKE=automake-1.9 autoreconf2.50 -fis " While running ./configure I had to install TeX (not surprising) and Xfig (that's a little more of a surprise) as well. I got an admonition about to 'call the operating system you're refering to by it's proper name "GNU/Linux"' as well. I am well aware of the connection between the GNU project and Linux, and frequently uses the moer formal terminology when comunicating with less knowlegable people. I feel however that this would be a bit insulting when mailing to [EMAIL PROTECTED] After all, this mailing list is probably populated with people who are well aware of the connection. I therefore used the shorter version Debian Linux for convenience. Another detail: Debian Linux 3.1, or Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 contains a lot of information about exactly what versions of the programs I am using. With my best regards, Sören Jonsson MSc CS _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
