(In reply to comment #1) > Do you maybe have WANT_AUTOMAKE set to version 1.9 in your shell environment? No I haven't. Doing some more testing let me think this could be related to something else: I can see that in my home dir: ~ $ automake --version automake (GNU automake) 1.10.2 Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Written by Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com> and Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>. it seems that Ive seen the problem when I was in kmymoney2 source directory (:pserver:anonymous@kmymoney2.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/kmymoney2). Running again from that dir: ~/cvstree/kmymoney2 $ automake --version automake (GNU automake) 1.9.6 Written by Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>. Copyright 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

quote from am-wrapper.sh: # - runs automake-1.9 if: # - envvar WANT_AUTOMAKE is set to `1.9' # -or- # - `Makefile.in' was generated by automake-1.9 # -or- # - 'aclocal.m4' contain AM_AUTOMAKE_VERSION, specifying the use of 1.9 So my guess is that the skript looks for Makefile.in and aclocal.m4 in the current working directory which would explain your experience. As this seems to be intended behaviour, I mark this bug as INVALID.
