Hi all,
Inkscape SVN started recently crashing on startup since it can't find any of its share files. This is because of some defines in the generated config.h: #define INKSCAPE_DATADIR "${datarootdir}" #define PACKAGE_LOCALE_DIR "${datarootdir}/locale"
Does that look wrong?
I believe these should have been expanded to the value of datarootdir. Interestingly the library path is correct: #define INKSCAPE_LIBDIR "/Users/mjwybrow/ws-svn/install/lib"
I don't believe I've changed automake or autoconf versions since it last worked for me. This has just appeared after updating from SVN -- I hadn't done an SVN update for a few weeks.
Any ideas?
Cheer, Michael
Recently, autoconf's new version changed its variable naming from ${prefix} and ${datadir} to ${datarootdir}. The change is to be able to use the new names. It is doc'd here:

It would be good if you could get this to work. Obviously it needs a tweak or two to run on both versions of autoconf.
I thought we discussed this on the list a few weeks ago?

get it to work
