Most likely a broken vendor installation of at least one involved tool. Reinstalling from ftp.gnu.org will usually cure this. Ensure that existing instances of the tool are nuked properly from the system before the new installation takes place. > I've run configure and had it produce what > seemed like a perfect run, only to realize that it didn't produce any > Makefiles. Very strange. I like how apache *always* runs buildconf w/o > failure on all my machines, regardless of autoconf/libtool versions. PHP requires: - working setup of any autoconf/automake version - libtool 1.4.x That's it. libtool 1.3 is not supported, because it has a different interface.. - Sascha Experience IRCG http://schumann.cx/ http://schumann.cx/ircg
