gnulib/m4/gnulib-cache.m4 does not list the 'getopt' module. How puzzling -- that was the very first module I used. I wonder what happened. Oh well.
$GNULIB_TOOL --import getopt fixed it for me. Great, thank you very much for fixing my bug :). Ralf> How can we get at a more complete Hello example to find out what exactly went wrong? Sorry for not including that. Doesn't matter now, but it's in savannah cvs: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/hello/?root=hello (BTW, Ralf, are you still working on the standards.texi patch?) Thanks, Karl
