This sound sane. I think the real issue rests on automake and install-sh. Previously I use automake 1.7 and did not have this problem. I suppose the previously behaviour is reasonable too because I sudo install into /usr/bin but not my home. The debian automake 1.11 (that I now use) said it is possible to break on some occasions and allow retaining the early automake versions as alternatives. Therefore now I think the problem is not gnumeric itself but its developers may want to check building with this automake 1.11 -- regards, ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
