In fact, after getting in this same argument on another project, I wrote the following scriptlet to show how easy it is to install these tools: -- begin -- #!/bin/sh PREFIX=/usr/local/autotools set -e wget -c ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.52.tar.gz wget -c ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.5.tar.gz tar xvzf autoconf-2.52.tar.gz (cd autoconf-2.52 && ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX && make install) tar xvzf automake-1.5.tar.gz (cd automake-1.5 && ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX && make install) -- end -- (for reference, the required tools are in Debian woody and later) -- - mdz -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-developers WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
