I did the change above, but the build fails almost always (almost = in a clean chroot). It builds reliable in my normal work directory, which is strange (I already looked at timestamp issues, but I do not think that that is the problem). It always fails when linking in libcruft/ with the error message: libtool: link: cannot find the library `libranlib.la' or unhandled argument `libranlib.la' I've put a log file of the build at http://people.debian.org/~tweber/octave.log.bz2 The commands effectively run are: automake --foreign --verbose ./configure --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr make -j1 Do you have any ideas?
