while I agree that we could start requiring some more recent versions of the build tools, we should not be to ambitious. Apparently your recent checkins broke building on my pretty much yum-up-to-date FC4 system with the following tools: autoconf-2.59-5_11.rhfc4.at automake-1.9.5-1_24.rhfc4.at bison-2.0-6 flex-2.5.4a-41.fc4 libtool-1.5.20-4.99_14.rhfc4.at make-3.80-7 Definitely your automake-1.9.6 rebasing causes grief on a SVN build :-( make[3]: Entering directory `/home/scratch/ganglia-svn/ganglia-trunk/srclib/confuse' cd . && /bin/sh /scratch/ganglia-svn/ganglia-trunk/srclib/confuse/support/missing --run automake-1.9 --foreign configure.ac:8: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.9.5, configure.ac:8: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.ac:8: comes from Automake 1.9.6. You should recreate configure.ac:8: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again. make[3]: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/scratch/ganglia-svn/ganglia-trunk/srclib/confuse' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/scratch/ganglia-svn/ganglia-trunk/srclib' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/scratch/ganglia-svn/ganglia-trunk' make: *** [all] Error 2 Cheers Martin ------------------------------------------------------ Martin Knoblauch email: k n o b i AT knobisoft DOT de www: http://www.knobisoft.de
