I tried it too now, and got the same error. It seems to me that the "fix" that went into autoconf-2.60-4 was never tested. Whoever came up with that fix thought that the kde configure script looked at the file name. This is not the case; it looks at the output of `autoconf --version` which is not influenced by any symlink tricks. Michael, you'll have to wait until the guys who created this mess clean it up completely. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
