A couple of questions: 1) How do you start configure? 2) Are you in a clean net-snmp source? 3) What is the value of ac_cv_prog_AUTOCONF right before the snippet you showed? 4) What is the value of AUTOCONF right before the snippet you showed? 5) Exactly which version of the configure script are you using? It doesn't match neither 5.2.2-rc3 nor 5.3. 6) Did the code snippet in the first mail end up mangled? /MF ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-coders mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-coders
