Another thing to consider is something along the lines of the following on the autotools pages (autoconf and automake): "Occasionally, you may find the need for a previous version of the autotools to work with older packages. See [Tushar's hint]." However, that doesn't really fit in LFS. But it would fit nicely on the "notes on building software" section in BLFS and on any package page in BLFS that may require it (note there are *no* BLFS packages which would require it right now). -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.25] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 12:16:01 up 3 days, 19:36, 1 user, load average: 0.29, 0.18, 0.06 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
