I love the thought of a parallel universe where it doesn&rsquo;t exist, and hate it with the fiery passion of 1000 suns the rest of the time. I just released <a href="http://www.conduit-project.org/wiki/0.3.3" rel="noopener">Conduit 0.3.3</a> and have had some reports of some build errors. The recurring build error is basically something like</p> <p>Running intltoolize… Running aclocal-1.4… aclocal: configure.ac: 18: macro `AM_PATH_PYTHON’ not found in library</p> <p>The problem is, by some combination of luck and ignorance I have never been able to reproduce this or fix it (on Ubuntu).
