On Redhat linux EL3 and ethereal 0.10.7, my changes to Makefile.common are not being included in the epan/dissectors/Makefile.

I upgraded automake(1.9.2) and autoconf(2.59) thinking that that might be a problem. No change. I wiped the source and untared it again, but get the same results. Any ideas?

I'm sure that this is platform specific, because the same source works fine under solaris, as far as Makefile.common is concerned.


Sorry to reply to my own post, but maybe this will help someone...

It turns out that automake-1.7x is required. In the configure script I found am__api_version="1.7". After I installed that it worked.
