It's trying to locate your X11 directory by looking for "xlsfonts", usually found in "/usr/X11R6/bin". Under debian, xlsfonts is found in "/usr/bin/X11". I kind of fixed that by replacing "sah_xpath=`echo $XLSFONTS \| sed 's/bin/xlsfonts//' `" with "sah_xpath="/usr/X11R6"" in "aclocal.m4" (2 times) and running "aclocal" and "autoconf" Regards Hans ID: 40268 ·

These functions should be defined in "aclocal.m4" Please mail your version of "aclocal.m4" to hjdorn@freenet.de and I'll compare it to what I've got here.
