Weird. Can you show the output from configure, as well as the respective bits in config.log that show the failure? > Is there a recipe for building the whole autotools suite from > the source tree? It really should work that way. Actually, were it not for messed-up time stamps, then the bootstrap step wouldn't even be necessary for the Automake tree. Cheers, Ralf
