To whom this may concern: This is an utmost annoying bug:
Autoconf will NOT let you compile it, unless you have an upgraded m4: checking for GNU M4 that supports accurate traces... configure: error: no acceptable m4 could be found in $PATH. GNU M4 1.4.6 or later is required; 1.4.13 is recommended error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.91657 (%build) ...but m4 will NOT let you compile it, unless you have an upgraded autoconf: + autoreconf --force --install configure.ac:20: error: Autoconf version 2.60 or higher is required configure.ac:20: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 63 aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 63 autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 63 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.54953 (%build) The build system has autoconf-2.59-79 m4-1.4o-504 installed. Obviously, there is an error in the dependency checking, either of autoconf, or of m4 - or even of both. It is simply logically *impossible* that A demands B and B demands A in order to be compiled successfully! A new decade of the 21st century has started and we still struggle with circular dependencies! I can't believe it... Please do something about it - and tell me. -- Regards Chris Karakas http://www.karakas-online.de
