Hi Ron,

I don't think this will fix the problem, because the for-loop will already cover automake 1.10, if it is reachable with the plain "automake" command. The actual problem, I think, is the awk line to compare the versions. awk compares two strings here: 1.10 and 1.9 (which is $automake_min_vers; this makes me wonder, why 1.7 and 1.8 are tried at all). Unfortunately, 1.10 is lexically before 1.9, so the string compare fails.
