Looks like I've really opened a can of worms here. My apologies - I'm sure y'all have more important coding to do than hack about with autoconf. > Looks like the line in question has just been passed straight through > from configure.in.in to configure without being processed at all.

It looks like the PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro isn't being copied into your rosegarden/aclocal.m4. aclocal.m4 goes out with a distribution, so only people building from CVS can run into this problem. <time passes> OK, I've just tried renaming /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4 to something else. Then I run make -f Makefile.cvs. Sure enough, PKG_CHECK_MODULES doesn't appear in aclocal.m4, and I get the same error when I run configure. When I rename it back to pkg.m4, and re-run make -f Makefile.cvs, voila, things work. bye John ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The SF.net Donation Program.
