I am, but I haven't built guile-1.6 since I upgraded to the latest auto* tools -- actually I'm not even sure I have upgraded as far as you indicate above. However I did put a fix into CVS HEAD for to allow newer versions of autoconf the other day. I have to backport that to 1.6. I'll see about your patch unless someone else gets to it sooner. I think perhaps we should switch our checking in autogen to be disallow known bad versions (i.e. autoconf < 2.5), rather than only allowing known good versions. Otherwise we're going to get complaints all the time as newer versions of the tools are released. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org, @linuxdevel.com, and @debian.org Previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG=1C58 8B2C FB5E 3F64 EA5C 64AE 78FE E5FE F0CB A0AD _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
