Looking closer, I've seen that top_builddir is already defined in configure.in. As we didn't change anything WRT this, did autoconf work for you earlier? Perhaps you're using a non-portable shell? What does "echo `pwd`" yield? [looking even closer] Then again, `pwd` is used at a different location in configure...

Don't think so. top_builddir only gets mentioned here: mbanck@Blackbird:~/src/ghemical-test$ grep top_builddir config* config.status:s,@top_builddir@,/home/mbanck/src/ghemical-test,;t t configure:top_builddir=`pwd` configure:s,@top_builddir@,$top_builddir,;t t configure.in:top_builddir=`pwd` configure.in:AC_SUBST(top_builddir) This config.status line might be interesting though. > I guess that Geoff could also update the script (Geoff, do you hear us? :) > since he has been working on it earlier. Perhaps not, if you haven't sent the mail to him privately afterwards ;) I'll send this to the list again. > For the future, I can give also you the write access to CVS if you > think it would help. Well, next time perhaps. I can't say that I'll have a lot of time coding on ghemical, so this might be useless. It's just that I've a couple of days off right now :) bye, Michael
