Hi, yes its really tricky on debian. I'm fighting it every time I install it new and try not to modify my environment once it works. However one thing for me was pretty sure that I need automake 1.9 (currently 1.9.5). autoconf is 2.59, libtool is 1.4.3, flex is 2.5.4 (flex-old package). HTH Simon Wheeler wrote:

Hi , I am having problems with buildconf on debian, I see the error probably relates to versions of autoconf,automake & libtool though I have to use autoconf >=2.5 for other (xandros) dependecies. automake & libtool are correct versions 1.4 && 1.4.3. [Last time I tried I had no such issues on Fedora & it compiled out of the box]

configure.in:65: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
     If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
     See the Autoconf documentation.
Any workarounds or ideas for a non-hardcore linux user? Regards, Simon.
