There's a subtle and hidden dependency in xfsprogs for an autoconf version which is 2.50 or above. In Debian and Ubuntu, if autoconf 2.13 is installed, autoconf will try to automatically figure out whether the configure.in requires 2.13 or 2.50 (since the autoconf maintainers didn't understand the concept of "backwards compatibility"). Unfortunately, it got this wrong. Using an explicit AC_PREREQ(2.50) fixes this. I'll be sending patches shortly.... - Ted _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
