Because autoreconf is still invoking the only aclocal it can find, which happens to be the one in /usr rather than /usr/local. > I have to rename /usr/share/aclocal and replace it by a soft link to /usr/local/share/aclocal.

Can you get by with the -I option instead? -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
