I don't have the slightest idea what happened. I've run configure / bootstrap on a daily basis over the past week. So I suppose doing what you told me isn't of much use any more - the makefile seems good now. But I still have the bug in my branch which also contains the same bad makefile I sent you earlier. That's a makefile dated from 2010-10-30. I suppose the plain fact that a makefile has that date should indicate that something _did_ go wrong during configure (I've not done bzr update on the trunk nor bzr merge on the branch since that). Now how can configure have created a bad makefile yesterday and a good one today? Do you have any idea how to resolve that mystery? Is it possible that touching one of these files in the trunk has caused configure do something different? If so, what can I do to avoid having a Schr=F6dinger effect on the branch too. I shall leave trunk and branch= untouched for the moment. martin
