Automake version?

I have added code to neuron and need to re-run aclocal, automake, and autoconf. (I even tried autoreconf). Everything seems to compile okay, but on install, I get a directory called "@host_cpu@" instead of "i686". When trying to launch the program, it does not work even if I change my nrnenv because any NMODL files are still created and placed in a "i686" directory.

I noted that AutoMake version 1.9.5 was used and I have 1.9.6. I downgraded automake to 1.9.5 (seemingly as aclocal.m4 now says it was created with version 1.9.5), but that does not seem to do the trick.

If I simply run aclocal, automake, and autoconf on the nrn directory, I still get this strange directory name.

Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks,
Tom

Newer versions of autoconf exhibit this problem and the generic fix was committed to the svn repository for InterViews
http://www.neuron.yale.edu/cgi-bin/trac ... geset/1731
and for the NEURON configure
http://www.neuron.yale.edu/cgi-bin/trac ... geset/1732
(see the configure.in file). It is just a one line change to the two configure.in files to change
exec_prefix='${prefix}/@host_cpu@'
to
exec_prefix="${prefix}/${host_cpu}"

That did the trick, Michael. Thanks!
