Hi, I just fetched the new GNU fileutils-4.1 and tried to build and install them (with 'make install-strip'). In order to do so, I had to apply the following patch (bad make-syntax from aclocal.m4). Moreover I had to manipulate the time-stamps in order to prevent autoconf from starting to mess things up. Since autoconf-2.49e is still labelled `development' and is not available from the regular GNU FTP server, I was somewhat reluctant to install this version and am still using the old autoconf-2.13. Is this autoconf situation going to change in the near future???? regards Peter Breitenlohner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
