Yes. Just tried it. > Next question. What shell are you running? Mine is set to tcsh but > newer Macs tend to run bash. I typed "shell" and it came back: tcsh: shell: Command not found.

Try running it as > > Tools/config/.missing --help Did that (without the . in front of missing) and got: louispec% Tools/config/missing --help Tools/config/missing [OPTION]... PROGRAM [ARGUMENT]... Handle `PROGRAM [ARGUMENT]...' for when PROGRAM is missing, or return an error status if there is no known handling for PROGRAM. Options: -h, --help display this help and exit -v, --version output version information and exit --run try to run the given command, and emulate it if it fails Supported PROGRAM values: aclocal touch file `aclocal.m4' autoconf touch file `configure' autoheader touch file `config.h.in' automake touch all `Makefile.in' files bison create `y.tab.[ch]', if possible, from existing .[ch] flex create `lex.yy.c', if possible, from existing .c help2man touch the output file lex create `lex.yy.c', if possible, from existing .c makeinfo touch the output file tar try tar, gnutar, gtar, then tar without non-portable flags yacc create `y.tab.[ch]', if possible, from existing .[ch] *** I GOT IT ! Well, partially *************** The above along with the ./configure output gave me the clue. I had folders (directories) with spaces in the names and Mac type characters. I changed all names in the path to the SWIG folder to be Unix compatible and the ./configure ran properly. Except I still have g++ for gcc and the 'make' step still gives the same error: louispec% make make all-am depbase=`echo CParse/cscanner.o | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.o$||'`; \ if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../Source/Include -I../Source/CParse -I../Source/Include -I../Source/DOH -I../Source/CParse -I../Source/Preprocessor -I../Source/Swig -I../Source/Modules -g -O2 -Wall -W -ansi -pedantic -MT CParse/cscanner.o -MD -MP -MF "$depbase.Tpo" -c -o CParse/cscanner.o CParse/cscanner.c; \ then mv -f "$depbase.Tpo" "$depbase.Po"; else rm -f "$depbase.Tpo"; exit 1; fi In file included from CParse/cscanner.c:18: parser.y:1252: error: parse error before `throw' parser.y:1266: error: parse error before `throw' make[2]: *** [CParse/cscanner.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make: *** [source] Error 2 Exit 2 **** Sigh ***************************** > > Configure seems to not be able to find it or thinks it is outdated. > Maybe you have a newer version of the autotools software than I do but > I doubt that since it comes with the system software.
