Hello again Gary,

I think I follow everything, after going through the documentation again,

Well, I couldn't find it there, but I found one taken from a mailing list
post:

http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/automake/1998-June/003606.htm

After following the directions in the file, that seems to work fine.

This piece wasn't working for me, causing configure to bomb, until I added
a "`" at the end.  Then, configure at least gets through it, but the
substitution that it makes for me in the replace/Makefile when I'm trying
this out on FreeBSD is:

LTLIBOBJS = getopt.o getopt1.o getopt.o getopt1. | sed -s s/^X// -e s,.[^.]* 
,.lo ,g

which doesn't seem right.

Any thoughts on why this is coming out in the manner it is?

Thanks,
