Hi Mark,

"Not particularly good" is still infitely better than "non existant" as
mine could be described ;)

Ah, thanks for the pointer:
address@hidden g-wrap (master)][0]$ aclocal --print-ac-dir
/usr/share/aclocal
address@hidden g-wrap (master)][0]$ ls -l /usr/local/share/aclocal/guile.m4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 8555 Dec 9 16:14 /usr/local/share/aclocal/guile.m4
address@hidden g-wrap (master)][0]$
Hm, I wonder when that changed - I'm sure that this worked before. This
is a Debian wheezy system with automake "1:1.11.1-1" installed.

I tried that already - no change.

It's installed, but aclocal does not look into /usr/local (anymore?). I
tried running autogen.sh with "-I /usr/local/share/aclocal" but that
doesn't work:
address@hidden g-wrap (master)][0]$ ./autogen.sh -I /usr/local/share/aclocal
- ignoring unknown autogen.sh argument -I
- ignoring unknown autogen.sh argument /usr/local/share/aclocal
+ check for build tools
Also tried to run it like this:
address@hidden g-wrap (master)][0]$ ./autogen.sh -- --I /usr/local/share/aclocal
+ options passed to configure: --I /usr/local/share/aclocal
+ check for build tools
Still aclocal only gets to run as "aclocal -I m4". I see no way to run
autogen.sh with the required options. Hm, looking at autogen.sh, I
tried this and this works:
ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/local/share/aclocal" ./autogen.sh

I was able to compile g-wrap now, let's see how far this gets me ;)
Thanks for all the help.
