Please don't do that, but revert that change and instead update the argument of AC_PREREQ in configure.ac to read this: AC_PREREQ(2.60) Since you're using autoconf/automake, configure.ac changes and requirements have zero impact on end users who download the tarball that you generate through "make dist". Such changes only affects developers who want to hack configure.ac or use the SVN version, and you can simply expect them to have an autoconf version no older than 36 months. In my experience, newer autoconf versions are more portable, have less bugs, and are good for a much smoother ride than older versions. I'm happy to look into updating configure.ac, which in general needs an overhaul anyways - unless you say "no configure.ac updates before 2.1 release". Best regards Matthias
