Hello Ken, Thanks for sharing your comments and your solution. In our previous episode, Ken Olum said: > Trying to configure libwww under Red Hat 6.2 I got a bunch of errors > involving > macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library > and > required file `./wwwconf.h.in' not found > > The cause of this error, in my case, was not having libtool > installed.

Now that we know where was the problem, someone had sent the following tip on the list. > Are libtool and automake installed under the same prefix? If not, you > will have to run aclocal as: > aclocal -I /prefix/of/libtool/share/aclocal So I guess that running aclocal as shown here above should solve the problem too. Eric, Could you verify if this works out ok in your config? I'll then update the doc to remove this confusion. What beats me is how come I'm using redhat and debian out of the box and we don't have the tools installed under the same path. I installed the official RPMs of the above tools. -Jose
