Thinking out loud, I'd say you could either: 1) Fix the code so it uses PATH, which may or may not be appropriate, 2) Replace the configure detection with a hardcoded /bin/kill (which is probably more trouble than it's worth), or 3) Add procps as a build-dep. Out of curiosity, any idea why it hardcodes the path to kill instead of looking at the PATH? Richard
