Yes, this is annoying. The way I do it for Fedora is to carry a patch for Makefile.in as well. This patch still has to be prepared with automake 1.13, so you'd have to make the patch on an OpenSUSE 13.1 box. Something like this: tar zxf libguestfs-1.24.8.tar.gz cp -a libguestfs-1.24.8 libguestfs-1.24.8.old pushd libguestfs-1.24.8 patch -p1 < ../old.patch automake popd diff -ur libguestfs-1.24.8.old libguestfs-1.24.8 > new.patch Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
