Hello.

Why are you running autogen.sh? Doesn't grep 2.5.1 ship with Makefile.ins and
configure? AFAIK autogen.sh is used with CVS check-outs, to get started.
Perhaps you are regenerating configure, to get better DJGPP support?

Have you tried running aclocal, like this message suggests?

    automake: your implementation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE comes from an
    automake: old Automake version.  You should recreate aclocal.m4
    automake: with aclocal and run automake again.

You probably should run it something like this:

    aclocal -I m4

Maybe autogen.sh already does this, if it runs autoreconf.

I'll probably download grep 2.5.1 sources sometime, to have a look.

Bye, Rich =]
