I just tried to build Code::Blocks on Fedora 12 but ./bootstrap informed that I needed Automake 1.7 or higher. If I issue:
automake --version
I see that I have version 1.11.1
Upon interrogation of the ./bootstrap file, I see this:
if test -n "`$AUTOMAKE --version 2>&1|head -n 1|egrep '1\.[0-6](\.[0-9]+)?$'`"; then
echo "Automake 1.7 or above is required. Aborting build...";
exit 1;
fi
Which to me reads that it is seeing automake 1.1 and failing but not realizing that 1.11 is actually acceptable. Unfortunately, I'm not good enough with regex to formulate the fix - I'm still pondering it.
I've commented out the test and it ran fine. I'm in the process of a build now and I'll post back once I have a working version. I would appreciate to see the fixed regex, too.

UPDATE:: the build and install worked fine.
