Yes, we are doing this because there is a need to build test cases which use our real code, and the symlink solution seemed to be the most workable. > First, you should be using $(LN_S) together with AC_PROG_LN_S for symlinks Agreed, making that change now > second you should link to $(srcdir)/relpath/$@ instead Also agreed, making that change now > third you should probably instead just > be using AC_CONFIG_LINKS and be happy that you don't have to care about > this yourself. All explained in Autoconf docs. I'll look into that possibility as well, though wouldn't that require centralizing all linking code to configure.ac, instead of letting the Makefile.am deal with it locally? > Apart from these changes, `make distuninstallcheck' is the first part of > `make distcheck' to complain, and it complains about some files which > `make uninstall' misses to remove.

Excuse my ignorance, but I'm not sure of what a VPATH build is. The system I am running on is Mandrake Linux 10.1 on x86 (we've seen the failure with FC3 as well). There is not and installed version of the libraries on my system.
