Re: [Protux-devel] automake 1.6.3

Hi!

I've got both autoconf 2.13 & 2.53a and they are in a wrapper : 
-clip-
bash-2.05a$ ls -l /usr/bin/autoconf
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           29 2002-07-01 19:02
/usr/bin/autoconf -> ../lib/autoconf/ac-wrapper.pl
-clip-

The wrapper defaults to 2.13 but uses 2.53a in some cases :
-clip-
# - defaults to autoconf-2.13
# - runs autoconf-2.53a if it exists and...
#   - envvar WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5 is set to `1'
#     -or-
#   - configure.ac is present
#     -or-
#   - `configure.in' contains AC_PREREQ and the value's 3 first letters
#     are stringwise greater than '2.1'
-clip-

The wrapper seems to be originated from mandrake so maybe when you
updated automake it got "overriden" and isn't used anymore and 2.13 is
used directly ? 
Just an thought...
