autoconf is written in perl so any segfaults "in autoconf" is really in perl
(In reply to comment #1) > autoconf is written in perl so any segfaults "in autoconf" is really in perl YES! It was really a perl problem! I merged perl version 5.8.5-r5 in substitution of the version 5.8.6-r4 and all seems to go well,now! So it seems that perl version 5.8.6-r4, has something wrong. Thanks a lot for the help.
This is going to be hard (impossible) for us to assist with since the OP downgraded their perl and I can't duplicate over here with nautilus-2.10.1, perl-5.8.6-r4, and autoconf-2.59. I suspect that the problem was still inadvertently related to autoconf originally being built against libperl-5.8.5, but how do you pursue it when there's nothing to work with? Marius, mind if I just close this out?
> I suspect that the problem was still > inadvertently related to autoconf originally being built against libperl-5.8.5 Yes, maybe the problem was this. To my opinion you can close this thread.
Closing out. If this shows up in someone's bug searches later, please open a new bug and don't downgrade your perl first :)
