Hi Tracey. I think this thread is wandering off what the planetccrma list is 
here for, but nevertheless, one last go at sorting this. Mathew Radey 
suggested gtk+-devel, which also wanted glib-devel, so I went with this. No 
change when running ./configure for Whysynth. Looked around in synaptic as 
make was complaining about missing gnum4. Couldn't find that, but 
gnutls-devel wasn;t installed. gnutls was. Went for that, but now configure 
won't even run to completion. Added gtkmm-devel, which also wanted gtkmm, 
libsigc++10, and libsigc++10-devel. No change. Then added gtklext, and 
gtklext-devel. Still no change. Removed gnutls-devel, but still ./configure 
wont run to completion. Looking at the libs files I see that m4 is 
installed , so probably installing gnutls-devel wasn't necessary. This is the 
last output from ./configure for Whysynth

checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E
checking for egrep... grep -E
checking for ANSI C header files... yes
./configure: line 4275: syntax error near unexpected token `no'
./configure: line 4275: `AC_ENABLE_STATIC(no)'

Giving up on Whysynth for FC3, I thought I'd try Smack, and it's 2 deps "om" 
and "omins". Omins surprisingly installed ok, and then tried Smack, which had 
previously refused to. This installed ok also, but i cant find any binary 
file on the machine for it, just some stuff in /usr/share. Then I had a go at 
installing liblo-0.22. Om had been complaining that liblo-0.18 wasn't good 
enough. Running ./configure for liblo-0.22 is ok and it runs to completion, 
but running make stops at the errors below.

config.status: config.h is unchanged
config.status: executing depfiles commands
[djmons at localhost liblo-0.22]$ make
 cd . && /bin/sh /home/djmons/Smack-and-deps/liblo-0.22/missing --run 
automake-1.9 --gnu  Makefile
configure.in:23: version mismatch.  This is Automake 1.9.2,
configure.in:23: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.in:23: comes from Automake 1.9.5.  You should recreate
configure.in:23: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1

I have several versions of automake installed.
automake 1.9.2-3
automake14 1;4p6-12
automake15 1.5-13
automake16 1.6.3-5
automake17 1.7.9-5
But no automake 1.9.5

The error says I should recreate aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake 
again. Apologies, but I don't know how to do this. I fully appreciate it, if 
you havn't time to help with this problem, but would be nice to fix it all 
the same. Nigel.

ps: working on the CLI is a real bundle of fun.
