I get now configure.ac:24: option `tar-ustar' not recognized with automake 1.7.9. This is only a warning in autogen.sh, but it make aborts with an error: cd .. && \ /bin/sh /home/georg/sw/src/lyx-1.4-cvs/config/missing --run automake-1.7 --foreign Makefile configure.ac:24: option `tar-ustar' not recognized make: *** [../Makefile.in] Fehler 1 And no, I don't know why it wants to rebuild Makefile.in, it should be up to date. Does this mean that atomake 1.7 is not supported anymore? Georg
