Explanation for this problem is here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2005-09/msg00023.html Simple fix is to re-run autoconf on the package, to pick up a new definition of the AC_PATH_X macro. Alternative fix is to add libxt-dev to the build-deps, even though libxt-dev isn't used for anything but the configure check. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
