Re: I may be stupid, but I can't build CVS

| Still having troubles here, but I appreciate your efforts.

And conversely :)

| To see if I had somehow corrupted something, I wiped all of bison and got a 
new
| copy from CVS:
|     export CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/bison
|     cvs checkout bison
| Then I ran autoreconf:
|     autoreconf -v -f -i
| Then I removed all Makefile.am's and updated from cvs:

I didn't mean all of them, but that shouldn't matter.

|     rm `find . -name Makefile.am`
|     cvs update 2>/dev/null
| CVS showed changes in the files ChangeLog, m4/gettext.m4, po/ChangeLog,
| po/Makefile.in.in, and a number of new files created (marked with a ?).

That's fine.

| However,
|     find . -name configure.ac

My apologies: it is still named configure.in, not ac.

| did *not* find anything.  So I ran
|     ./configure
| which failed because it cannot find the file intl/Makefile.in.  configure.ac
| still does not exist.  If I run make now, it will fail because there is no
| Makefile in the intl/ directory.  In fact, the directory is empty.

Did autoreconf said it installed Gettext?  It should have.

| Sorry for the continued annoyance...

Actually, I'm the one who is sorry.  I'll start from scratch myself,
and will write down a README-CVS for this case.  I'll be back to you
once I'm done.
