Christian, I got those errors fixed. My adjustments to configure.ac were just for the new release and version number. Now automake runs with no errors, but make stops with an error in the tables directory. There are 102 tables listed in EXTRA_DIST. I wonder if that is too many files for automake to handle. I can't see any problem with the Makefile.am. Thanks, John On Wed, Dec 03, 2008 at 09:19:05AM +0100, Christian Egli wrote: > Hi John > > On Tue, 2008-12-02 at 11:39 -0600, John J.
