Tcl, though, is used by almost everyone for dejagnu/testing. > Does anyone know any blocks to updating these directories to use > autoconf 2.59? Not really. The reason they use 2.13 is because that's what tcl, tk, and itcl were released with. Tcl 8.4.13 (released 7 Mar) still uses autconf 2.13 still. However Tcl CVS HEAD (vintage 8.5 beta) uses 2.59. Looks like a conversion wouldn't be too difficult using 8.5 code as a reference. [It's not quite as painless as just regenerating configure, though. I know -- I tried it with 8.4.12 when I dropped that into my build.] Keith
