I've been trying for many hours to get OpenCascade to compile on Fedora 14. Following the directions in the readme results in "make install" executing a fork bomb which forces you to reboot your system. If I just do a ./configure, it succeeds, but then Make gives me the following:

[matt@george ros]$ make
cd . && /bin/sh /home/matt/hobby/OpenCASCADE6.3.0/ros/make/missing --run aclocal-1.7
cd . && \
/bin/sh /home/matt/hobby/OpenCASCADE6.3.0/ros/make/missing --run automake-1.7 --foreign Makefile
Useless use of /d modifier in transliteration operator at /usr/bin/automake-1.7 line 5985.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Run 'autoreconf -fi' to use a newer automake which understands SUBDIRS containing slashes.
You will likely get into other problems, maybe you should try to rebuild an RPM package, for instance from

Did you ever get this figured out. I am trying to install on Fedora 14 now. Any tips appreciated. Thanks, Commenter-2
