Sorry for the much-delayed follow-up on this; but I think I've found the problem here. (And, yes, I'm using Automake 1.10.) My Makefile.am includes targets for both libraries and programs; and the latter depend on the former. If I refer to a library dependency relative to top_builddir, make says it has no rule to build the target. If I refer to the library relative to builddir, it works fine. -- Braden McDaniel e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://endoframe.com> Jabber: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
