Ordinarily, the wrapper scripts in the cygwin autotools suite ensure that "matching" versions are called -- unless your installation is not fully uptodate. Make sure you have both autoconf-devel-2.54-... automake-1.7.1-.... installed, and check to see if your configure.[in|ac] file has an 'AC_PREREQ(x.xx)' line in it. --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
