Hello Andrea, since we're talking about ubuntu here, it shall be straightforward for you to install autoconf-2.13. IMHO this is the most simple way how to proceed. IIRC something like `sudo apt-get install autoconf-2.13' shall work well. The reason why MICO is still using this old autoconf version is that during the time it accumulated quite some custom tests (see aclocal.m4) and I'm not sure they are easily portable to newer autoconf release. The other reason is that such task is really low-priority since current autoconf is working well for MICO. Anyway, if you are interested in newer autoconf support and if you hack something, I would be more than glad to review your patches and if only a bit possible to merge them to MICO! As always in free software, volunteers are highly welcome! :-) Thanks, Karel -- Karel Gardas kgar...@objectsecurity.com ObjectSecurity Ltd. http://www.objectsecurity.com _______________________________________________ Mico-devel mailing list Mico-devel@mico.org http://www.mico.org/mailman/listinfo/mico-devel
