Hello I'm stuck at a point and I really don't know what's wrong. Here is my situation.
Gathered from the list of All Packages list page 3.2, it states Autoconf (2.68) and M4 (1.4.16) So I downloaded, extracted, M4 (1.4.16) and did the following while in the directory "$LFS/sources/m4-1.4.16": ./configure (as user lfs) make (as user lfs) sudo make install (as root) Everything seemed to go ok. However, when I attempt to run ./configure on Autoconf (2.68) I receive the following error: “ checking for expr... /usr/bin/expr 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; 1.4.14 is recommended “ OK, so I removed M4 (1.4.16) and did the same thing to M4 (1.4.9) , thinking "1.4.9 is > 1.4.6, so that should work" Going back to autoconf, when I issue ./configure in $LFS/sources/autoconf-2.68, the same problem returns. Also, I noticed this when I issue "m4 --version" as user lfs: “ Command 'm4' is available in '/usr/local/bin/m4' The command could not be located because '/usr/local/bin' is not included in the PATH environment variable. m4: command not found “ question: should /usr/local/bin be in my path variable for user lfs? currently $PATH=/tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin. question: should i be ./configure,make,make install all as root? any help is greatly appreciated as i am pretty lost here after spending hours at this. best regards and thanks for your time, dave
