Hello, I have found a problem with the automake and autoconf scripts installed in /usr/bin for switching between the DEVEL and STABLE versions of automake and autoconf.
The bug leads to breaking automake or aclocal on scripts where some text follows the AC_PREREQ line (like, for instance, in the DDD configuration script). In Detail: automake allows a line like AC_PREREQ(2.13)dnl where some text follows the closing parenthesis after the version number. The trailing text is not correctly eliminated by the SED script which extracts the version number in the automake/autoconf scripts distributed. For correcting the bug, replace the following line: VER=`sed -n -e '/AC_PREREQ/s/[^(]*(\([[:digit:]\.]*\))/\1/p' < $infile` with the corrected line: VER=`sed -n -e '/AC_PREREQ/s/[^(]*(\([[:digit:]\.]*\)).*$/\1/p' < $infile` in all autoconf/automake scripts: aclocal autoheader autoreconf autoupdate autoconf automake autoscan ifnames corrected versions of these scripts are in the attached tarfile.
