Could you please let me know if autoconf/automake are installed in the build environment? In other words, what is the output of dpkg -l | grep autoconf dpkg -l | grep automake If you do, this is a known bug (see <URL:http://bugs.debian.org/592466>). Please then try to remove those packages and rebuild. I am able to build in a clean sid chroot. Thanks. Kumar -- Kumar Appaiah
