This one should be run from the GSRC directory, and I should have specified to also use the "--verbose" flag. > I noticed that /usr/local/share/aclocal/gtk-3.0.m4 points to an alias > that refers to a nonexistent file. OK so after testing on my machine, and given this information, I think I've identified the problem. aclocal scans that directory for m4 files to build up a list of available Autoconf macros. It finds the gtk-3.0.m4 symlink, but it's a dead link so it fails. This would explain the mystery as to why GSRC would be complaining about GTK when it doesn't actually need it. My guess is that maybe you had tried installing GTK in the past and it didn't uninstall cleanly, leaving these files there (or something similar but more complicated involving an interaction between Automake/Autoconf/aclocal and GTK). So, re-installing GTK would be one work-around, just on the understanding that GTK isn't required for GSRC. -brandon
