I think that the reason why you don't see it with 1.27.1 is that you haven't applied the patch completely. Was the patch run successful? > Namely, tar doing the "./configure" stage twice, and > appears to be not recognizing my automake.

In that case, running the ./configure by make for the second time is expected. You are supposed usually to do only: $ patch -p1 < fix.patch $ make When the patch touches certain set of files (which it actually does), you need to regenerate configure script. I think you hit the ./configure manually without regenerating it first (e.g. by autoreconf). But the Makefile generated by automake is clever enough to regenerate the configure script for you and run it, when necessary. > Note that autoconf/automake don't come with MacOSX anymore (since 10.7, > I think). Hmm, if that is truth, that is quite unlucky, I would say. Pavel
