Yes, I can. Back in February I was forced to change scripts/Makefile.am because new versions of Automake refuse to accept certain combinations of instructions like "pkglib_SCRIPTS" which once sent our scripts to /usr/local/lib/xastir -- It was always the case that only certain prefixes were intended to be used with _SCRIPTS, but older versions of automake let it slide quietly when they were misused. These days "pkglib" is an illegal use for the _SCRIPTS primary, and current versions of automake refuse to proceed. This had to be changed just to get it to work, but with the side effect that the scripts are now being installed as data instead of as scripts... i.e. they're not executable on install. This will obviously need to be fixed. It may take some time to figure out the correct Automake invocation to get it right. It might require yet another relocation of the scripts. Grumble. For now, just do a chmod u+x on the files in /usr/local/share/xastir/scripts. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
