The default Debian automake is 1.5, I must say I've never tried the 1.8. Some can be installed at the same time... This is the trouble with the cvs, it has to be bootstrapped and it can be painful.


./bootstrap I tried a ./configure but here are the last few lines from the 
output:

Which is not right as I have the nvidia (not nv) driver installed and the GLX 
libraries. I am also
developing an OpenGL app and it both compiles and runs fine. I went in the /usr/include/GL/ folder and here is what I have:

I tried to look at the configure script but I got lost, hehe.

Hum, you'll have to check the config.log to see what it tries to compile and how it fails. You can send here the relevant part so we have a look.
