Well, I wish it was as easy as just to update everything to decent versions of autotools. But the fact is that it's a requirement to be able to build OpenVPN on RHEL4.6. I am not in a position to move that requirement now. [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 6) [root@localhost ~]# rpm -q autoconf automake libtool autoconf-2.59-5 automake-1.9.2-3 libtool-1.5.6-4.EL4.2 If it really makes sense to support building on a ~2 year old RHEL4 base installation, that's a completely different question. But that's the reality I need to work within right now. kind regards, David Sommerseth -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkuX04IACgkQDC186MBRfrockACfai1otkAjPZZ46Pcdfd99a+VT Z90An20IVCpEFeHGRTaKq1H5YswtUUm0 =ukuX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
