Hi

Pretty sure this is offtopic, but 'cause I'm running Russian distro ALT
Linux which was somedays based on Mandrake 7.2, I believe this could
help someone on ALT/Mandrake distros. I guess you should try running
update-alternatives--config autoconf(as root) What about automake 1.7, I
have downloaded it, compiled it from the source, and installed with make
install. After that, I've ran update-alternatives --display automake and
added 1.7 automake similar to 1.4 and 1.6 found in my distro (man
update-alternatives). My distro also has an macro for RPM -
%set_automake_version, maybe Mandrake has something like this too. Or
%define _automake or smth. The rest of .spec file you could easily
cut'n'paste from Brian's spec-file.
This is how I use automake 1.7 in my distro (from update-alternatives
--display automake):
/usr/bin/automake-1.7 - priority 40
 slave aclocal: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.7
 slave automakedata: /usr/share/automake-1.7
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/automake-1.7.

Personally I would't recommend installing automake into /usr, only to
/usr/local - at least to see which files will be overwritten in /usr
after make install. Also, you may not run make install at all, and try
using it as Brian did. I'd prefer update-alternatives way. Also you may
get an .src.rpm for your automake-1.6, replace name, version and
source-file and create automake-1.7 rpm, which you could select with
update-alternatives. This will be the most correct way in terms of your
distro :)
