Thanks for your free software and your quick answer. Excuse-me, but I 
can't exprime in English
all subtilities like I use in French. My bash shell have a $PATH with 
/usr/bin before  /usr/local/bin and I have compiled many software,
the list is inside compiled-software.txt so I do not think it is the 
reason
for this.

root# echo 
$PATH/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/subversion/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/subversion/bin
power-mac-g4-de-gilles-charabot:~/Projet-gnash/Glib-gtk2-develp-pacckage/Projet-gtk+/Projet-glib/autoconf-2.69 
root#



and always if the name of software is by example software0, when I type 
software0 --version, i can read
the same version I have.

I never had automake before because no automake software was in this 
computer
and at this time no automake yet.

Excuse-me, I just wanted to send the log  tests/testsuite.log, but my 
wife speaks to me also and I make a mistake.
Plain text, OK, thanks for this precision
