Subject: Fix for Linux build (on my FC3)
So...
There is an error when you try to compile OGRE 1.0.0RC1 or even final
it's in a mistake in Scripts/m4/cppunit.m4. So my solution is to create a file start.sh (a bash script) and put there:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Deleting autom4te cache..."
rm -fr autom4te.cache/*
rmdir autom4te.cache
echo "Deleting wrong cppunit.m4 script..."
rm -f ./Scripts/m4/cppunit.m4
echo "Copying the working one..."
cp ./cppunit.m4 ./Scripts/m4/cppunit.m4
rm -f ./cppunit.m4
echo "Now all is OK, I'll delete myself and run a standart automake gibbons :-)"
echo "Have fun!!!"
rm -f $0
#Change the ./configure params here or comment next string
./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install
#That's all:)


And copy this script file to ogrenew directory. Then run

$ chmod +x start.sh


So finaly create a file cppunit.m4 in the same directory where script start.sh is located (ogrenew if you forgot:)) and put there the following:

dnl
dnl AM_PATH_CPPUNIT(MINIMUM-VERSION, [ACTION-IF-FOUND [, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]])
dnl
AC_DEFUN([AM_PATH_CPPUNIT],

AC_ARG_WITH(cppunit-prefix,[  --with-cppunit-prefix=PFX   Prefix where CppUnit is installed (optional)],

AC_ARG_WITH(cppunit-exec-prefix,[  --with-cppunit-exec-prefix=PFX  Exec prefix where CppUnit is installed (optional)],

It's an ellegant way to go away like an englishman )

Anyway you may just delete ogrenew/autom4te.cache directory and all of it's contence, then just change the line

AC_DEFUN(AM_PATH_CPPUNIT,

in ogrenew/Scripts/m4/cppunit.m4 to

AC_DEFUN([AM_PATH_CPPUNIT],

and run usual ./configure && make && make install.
Found a solution http://cppunit.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/BuildingCppUnit1#head-dbaa9ca011a5c2325563f7881fac60345a6d7bf5 here.

Yeah, and I prefer ./configure --prefix=/usr since it's more convenient... But then You'll have to change in a plugins.cfg line

PluginFolder=/usr/local/lib/OGRE to line
PluginFolder=/usr/lib/OGRE


Sorry for my bad english:)
