As well as what other people have said, randomly dropping symlinks into bits of /usr/ is a bad habit that I strongly recommend you avoid in future (though I more usually see people attempting this with different versions of libraries). I notice that your error message included mention of aclocal-1.16 as well, which means that the build system has likely ended up with a mix of different versions of bits of automake, and that's not going to be healthy. I'd strongly advise removing /usr/bin/aclocal-1.13 (assuming it was previously absent) before you do anything else, and then following the other advice you've had here to rebootstrap the build system properly. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org]
