Tom> In this particular case can't you just rely on libtool to create Tom> the static library for you? I don't know. I'm an automake novice. I was just working my way through the autobook, creating Makefile.am files and a configure.in script as I went along. It's the only document I've found that tries to integrate usage of autoconf, automake, and libtool. I essentially pasted the two sets of Makefile.am rules at the top of http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/autobook/autobook_88.html The accompanying text gave me no indication that the first two lines was optional. I read it as "define lib_LIBRARIES to get a static archive and lib_LTLIBRARIES to get a libtool archive". Commenting out the first two lines does get rid of the error message and my build seems to work. Thanks for the help, Skip
