Yes, removing the vpath and moving george.c up one level works around the problem in the test case. Should I file a bug for the fact that vpath and dist don't work together, or is that already documented somewhere? It doesn't quite solve the problem in my real world situation; "make dist" didn't copy #included files, and I needed to add something like EXTRA_DIST = foobar to pathprob/Makefile.am. (Maybe that's just an artifact of trying to do "make dist" without first doing "make", though.) Thanks, Dan
