Hmmm... I think you're on to something. The previous build owner added some additional macros to the default source of aclocal macros. He put them in m4 files in the same directory. As such, when I have the new aclocal point to the new macro source location (using "--acdir"), autoconf fails (additional macros not found). When I have it point to the old source, automake fails (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE fails). I've tried playing around with different combinations (and sequences) of "--acdir" and "-I", hoping that I could get an invokation that would get the 1.7 macros and the original ones provided by the build maintainer, to no avail. It seems that as long as the original "--acdir" directory is specified (either with "--acdir" or "-I"), automake fails with the same problems. Any ideas on how I can just use the right files in the old aclocal config directory? FWIW, the brute force method of copying out all files that the previous owner added to the aclocal config directory to another directory does work. So, I have a solution to this problem, and am on to another one. Also, what exactly is the difference between --acdir and -I? Thanks, Scott
