Description Peter 2005-05-23 07:00:11 UTC 
Version:           3.1.2 (using KDE 3.3.2, Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.3 (Mandrakelinux 10.2 3.4.3-7mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11-6mdk

here's sample Build/Configure output from compiling in KDevelop the 'Simple Designer based KDE application':

*** YOU'RE USING automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p6.
*** KDE requires automake 1.6
gmake[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1
gmake: *** [all] Error 2
*** Exited with status: 2 ***

Clearly I need to newer automake on my system BUT,

How does KDevelop permit/allow configuration for alternative versions of Automake? The Plugins sections seemed a logical place, would you agree?
Comment 1 Peter 2005-05-25 05:18:50 UTC 
Ok I think I worked it out. When I previously upgraded automake 1.9 it was from a package off RPMFind and somehow Mandriva was still defaulting to ver1.4. When I tried to remove automake 1.4 using urpmi it tried to remove kdevelop also and I did not want that. So now I used urpmi to simply install automake v1.8 and it did so... plus some magic in the background, because now kdevelop seems to be using it.
