Hi,
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.
"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.
Maybe you should modify makefile in order to make it search the right version of the two \
files."
When I inspect my system I get the following:
$ aclocal --version
aclocal (GNU automake) 1.9.6

$ automake --version

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?
Cheers,
Kevin
