Hi John I'm trying to find out why autogen.sh doesn't work for you. So I did a few changes on the gnulib-branch2 branch (like adding more verbose output, etc). Could you try to do a fresh checkout and send me the output of the following commands: $ svn checkout http://liblouis.googlecode.com/svn/branches/gnulib-branch2 liblouis-gnulib $ cd liblouis-gnulib $ ./autogen.sh > autogen.log 2>&1 Thanks Christian -- Christian Egli Swiss Library for the Blind and Visually Impaired Grubenstrasse 12, CH-8045 Zürich, Switzerland For a description of the software and to download it go to http://www.jjb-software.com
