Ciao, Fabrizio This is what I mentioned in my first migration mail to the list. You need reasonably new versions of the autotools (libtool should be very new to correctly produce files which work on Macs). ------------------------------ > To use the new autotools build: > You should install automake > 1.6, autoconf-2.59 and libtool 1.5.18 on your > system. ------------------------------- Best you get them as tarballs from the GNU site. They build very fast (first get Autoconf, then Automake and then libtool). The Solaris machines at SLAC seem to have really ancient versions which have been out of use for several years (early versions of Autoconf required a configure.in file. Now this has been renamed configure.ac to prevent confusion with the files on which configure acts, which are all named *.in) Cheers, Derek On Tuesday 11 October 2005 11.34, you wrote: > Hi, thank you. > > One more question.
