Re: [Inkscape-devel] tar-pax option in configure.ac

I am on Gutsy and I was also hit by this problem. The point is that configure or autogen (I have no idea) tries to use automake 1.8 when it's available. If automake 1.10 and automake 1.8 are both installed on the system, autogen will try to use the 1.8 version, and the build will fail. A probable source of error is tools-version.sh in the main directory of the tree, but I'm not sure.
