Known problem, mostly fixed in the CVS version. Just run these commands to build yourself a version that works (with a few random bugs).

Fails.  Apparently Pan depends on older versions?

I'd imagine so.  automake is one of those weird apps where pretty much
each /minor/ version is incompatible.  Where a normal app would change
major version if it needed to break backward compatibility, automake
apparently changes minor version.  autoconf is similar, but not as bad.

I was hoping they weren't that brain dead. I created symlinks from automake-1.9 and aclocal-1.9 to *-1.4 and it worked.

Thanks for your (as always) detailed response.

And, Phillip, sorry for hijacking your thread :-)

P.S.  Will the ants outlast the roaches?
