I've installed autoconf and automake from the CentOS repository. When I get liblouisutdml from its repository and run the autogen.sh script and then configure I get the error I explained in my previous message. Autoconf is generating a bad configure script. I've had the same problem on other CentOS installations, and nobody could figure out what it was. The nearest I can come is that some development file is missing from CentOS. This is not a problem for me to look at but for the CentOS experts. I just want to get my project to build, as it did on rhel. If I need to install something else from the CentOS repository, please tell me what. Thanks, John On Fri, Jul 08, 2011 at 10:39:52AM +0100, John Hodrien wrote: > On Fri, 8 Jul 2011, John J.
