As root:
apt-get install automake1.6 1.6.3-6
Should do the trick. That's odd that it isn't installed. It should be.
I now have a hard disk installation of knoppix3.2.
I tried installing the drivers for my hsp 56 modem but in the "make" process I get an error stating that I don not have "automake-1.6-gnu installed".
Where to get this file or package?
As root:
apt-get install automake1.6 1.6.3-6
Should do the trick. That's odd that it isn't installed. It should be.
I solved it by reinstalling. I could have tried apt-get but I do not have a fast internet connection.
Perhaps there was a glitch in my previous install?
thanks anyway!
