Enrico> Bummer!   So, that is why the Aquamacs developers have not included

Enrico> In Ubuntu BBDB is just a deb package that is easily installed, but I

Did you have to give 'configure' any paths which contain a space?

Mac OS X Leopard comes with emacs 22.1.1, so you can avoid specifying
--with-emacs and hence the space contained in the the path to the Aquamacs
executable.  Alas, in my case, I use BBDB together with VM and the path
for --with-vm does contain a space (~/Library/Application Support/...).
When I supply this path to 'configure' it generates a broken Makefile.

Does your system behave any better?

Cheers, José
