#422 autoreconf fails on RHEL5
Closed: Fixed None Opened 14 years ago by sgallagh.

The version of autoconf/automake available on RHEL5 does not include implicit definitions for certain variables (such as $docdir). As a result, this means that running autoreconf cannot properly generate our configure and Makefile.in scripts.

This makes it impossible for developers on older platforms to make build-system changes.
