Hi Paul thanks foor your suggestions. I did as you proposed. However, I had to emerge an older version of automake (1.8.5) because autogen.sh complained when i used my current automake version (1.10). Then, autogen.sh reported: configure.ac: installing `./config/install-sh' configure.ac: installing `./config/missing' configure.ac:196: installing `./config/config.guess' configure.ac:196: installing `./config/config.sub' but since these didn't seem like error messages i went on to do my configure call ./configure --prefix=/opt/blcr-0.8.2 --with-system-map=/boot/System.map-genkernel-x86-2.6.30-gentoo-r6 --with-linux=/tmp/linux-2.6.30 This time it got even further, but then reported various errors (see attachment). I know i haven't tampered around with any of the files in the blcr-0.8.2 directory i downloaded, so i don't know if that error was there previously or if it was caused by my automake...
