<p><span style="color:#000000">Hi,</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000">I've been using KDevelop to develop packages for release via kde-apps.org. With one of these I've had reports of my package failing to build (from source) on certain systems. The following is one bug report that I've received.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-style:italic;color:#000000">"During the "make" step of the installation I've got an error about aclocal-1.6 and automake-1.6 because I have the 1.9 versions. I solved it by creating two symbolic links to aclocal-1.9 and automake-1.9 called aclocal-1.6 and automake-1.6.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-style:italic;color:#000000">Maybe you should modify makefile in order to make it search the right version of the two files."</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000">When I inspect my system I get the following:</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Nimbus Mono L;color:#000000">$ aclocal --version</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Nimbus Mono L;color:#000000">aclocal (GNU automake) 1.9.6</span></p>

<p></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000">My questions are: Why does KDevelop insist on using aclocal-1.6 and automake-1.6 when later versions exist on the local machine? How can I force KDevelop to produce config files that just use alocal and automake without any version specifiers?</span></p>
<p></p>
