[Nexus-developers] Re: NeXus & autoconf

[Akeroyd, FA (Freddie)]

Mark,

There is an update to automake available (version 1.8.4) - could you try
installing that and see if it helps? Also, do you get the same problem if
you checkout a clean version of nexus from CVS and run autogen.sh there?

Regards,

Freddie
