That's really old, indicating a very outdated automake package. > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/sources/xastir$ automake --version > automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p6 Yep. Per README.CVS, you need at least automake version 1.6.3 and autoconf 2.53 to build CVS xastir. You've got a recent autoconf, but a woefully out of date automake (the automake I use for xastir is 1.9.6). The best bet for doing this without mucking with your system's autotools is to download automake and autoconf sources (www.gnu.org will get you started), then configure them with "--prefix" options so they go to some nonstandard place (say, ~/src/xastir/bin -- this is what I've done on some particularly rude systems), then build and install them there. It's the work of a few seconds, as these tools are small. Once you've got that done, just put that nonstandard place earlier in your path than the system's autoconf/automake location, and you should be good to go. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
