Yes, this one is really related to the problem. But I don't really
understand it. It seems your automake doesn't understand correctly the
'+=' operator which is used to add a value to an existing variable.

This is also strange and would cause another problem. Line 73 tells the
automake to use the C++ linker when creating the geany binary but since
your automake doesn't accept this line, the C linker is used and this
causes other linker errors (just not yet visible due to the previous
errors).


What version of automake do you have installed ('automake --version')?
There must be something different on your system from others, I can't
imagine this happens on all Ubuntu 8.04 systems and nobody reported it
before.
