% uname -a NetBSD xxx.utah.edu 1.6 NetBSD 1.6 (GENERIC) #0: Sun Sep 8 19:43:40 UTC 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/autobuild/i386/OBJ/autobuild/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386 NetBSD % automake --version automake (GNU automake) 1.10.1 % autoconf --version autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61 % m4 --version m4 (GNU M4) 1.4.10 I get lots of other packages to build fine on this system: /usr/local/bin currently has 1445 programs. The last successful installation of libtool was this: % libtool --version ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.26 (1.1220.2.492 2008/01/30 06:40:56) A check of its build log shows, as I expected, "All 112 tests passed". It was built on 4-Feb-2008. These tools are all older than that: % cd /usr/local/bin % ls -l automake autoconf m4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 beebe sysstaff 13415 Nov 21 2006 autoconf -rwxr-xr-x 2 beebe sysstaff 233494 Jan 22 19:02 automake -rwxr-xr-x 1 beebe sysstaff 399366 Jul 10 2007 m4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
