Note that abs_top_srcdir calculation was broken in Autoconf 2.58. It is fixed in 2.59. Rather than using INCLUDE you should use AM_CPPFLAGS. For example AM_CPPFLAGS = -I$(top_srcdir)/project2/sublevel/inc Bob ====================================== Bob Friesenhahn [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen
