Steve, Paul, thanks for your hints. Luckily, I haven't managed to delete my "old" SuSE 7.3, so switching to another autoconf version wasn't really a problem. On the other side, commenting out all the "AM_LDFLAGS" in Makefile.am files seems to be a very quick and dirty solution - after having done that and subsequently executing "./configure" on my MDK 9.0, I got this:
checking for freetype-config... ./configure: line 1459: WARNING:: command not found no And finally: Configuration Summary: FreeType2 installed: No CUPS installed: Yes LittleCMS installed: Yes TiffLib installed: Yes As FreeType2 is surely installed and worked fine with 0.9.9, there must be another way to solve this (perhaps setting the variable AM_LDFLAGS?). br Maciej Steve schrieb: >I had this problem too until I ungraded autoconf to version 2.57.
