I needed to run aclocal and automake on my debian box too, I have automake 1.13.3 here, and the version from the tree expects 1.12.6. Perhaps we should add calls to aclocal and automake in Makefile.in.extern.editline to be sure. I have built 2.5 with this new editline on a VM with UBUNTU 5.10 using gcc 4.0.2, automake 1.4-p6 and autoreconf 2.59 (I had to remove the check for autoreconf version from autogen.sh), so it works even on quite old systems. As we are using it in production already since 2011 in our privat builds, I believe it is safe to include it in the 2.5 tree. BTW. even 3.0 is buildable on this old machine (I only had tu use libatomic_ops instead of gcc's built ins) Frank -- "Fascinating creatures, phoenixes, they can carry immensely heavy loads, their tears have healing powers and they make highly faithful pets." - J.K.
