Hi Alden, the autotools build should be fixed now in git head. You can download a snapshot from here (for some reason the repository visible via http is not synced with the one on the afs...): http://cern.ch/ljanyst/xrootd/xrootd-autotools.tar.gz I have tested it to work on: Debian Squeeze, SLC5, MacOS X 10.6.4 and SunOS 5.10 sparc. Could you check if it works for you? Cheers, Lukasz On Sat, Sep 18, 2010 at 1:25 PM, Lukasz Janyst <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Yes, indeed.
