Not quite right. automake will complain, but it will take gettextize or autopoint to actually install config.rpath. You could also just copy it from /usr/share/gettext (or whereever gettext happens to be installed on your system). Thanks for reporting this though, the error message given by automake is not quite right. I'll propose a fix. > Is that right? Are there any other possibilities? 3. After you've once run gettextize on your package (which puts the config.rpath file in your package, no?), and then automake afterwards (the same version as you're using all the time, doesn't need to be 1.10), the config.rpath file should be picked up automatically by the next 'make dist'.
