Hello,
I recently checked-out an ovs tree (using: git clone git://
openvswitch.org/openvswitch).
I am hitting a few autoconf errors while trying to run the 'boot.sh' script.
The console logs are pasted below. Any ideas what could be possibly going
wrong? I am not familiar with autoconf, so appreciate any
pointers/suggestions.
Thanks for your help and time.
Regards,
-Madhav
