Autoconf
I'm trying to install this program I downloaded, and it gives me this message:
FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script I'm using Mandrake8.2 and the package manager says it has Autoconf 2.52d-1 mdk installed which provides also 2.13. I've just downloaded the bzip2 from gnu ftp site but I don't want to install that if the rest of it is going to screw up! I could try to uninstall the RPM, but since it was made as part of the distribution will that break anything else? What should I do? - And why wouldn't the script pick up the installed one - likely because of the 2.13 version? |
are you trying to compile/make the application, or install via rpm?
if it's rpm, i have no idea, as i don't use RedHat, Mandrake, SuSE, or any other distribution that uses rpms. if you're trying to install from source, here's what to do: 1) delete every 'Makefile.in' you can find...(NOT 'configure.in') 2) delete aclocal.m4 in the source directory 3) delete 'configure' 4) run 'automake' 5) run 'aclocal' 6) run 'autoconf' 7) run ./configure && make && make install verigoth |
Hi, I'm going to compile src app and make it. I'll give what you said a go when I get home tonight, thanks ;)
