Re: [Mailman-Users] Compile Problem: msgmerge/gettext wants automake 1.8?!
Solaris 8 has no msgmerge. You have to install GNU gettext. Or, you can download latest messages/Makefile.in from CVS (Release_2_1-maint branch) and restart installation from 'configure'. You can get the latest CVS for the Release_2_1-maint by $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/mailman \ co -r Release_2_1-maint mailman Well, by deduction and some searching I was able to figure out I needed gettext. Thanks. However, it appears gettext needs automake 1.8 and all I can get my hands on is 1.8b and 1.9. When I try to run make, I get: % make cd . /bin/ksh /usr/local/src/gettext-0.14.1/config/missing --run automake-1.8 --gnu /usr/local/src/gettext-0.14.1/config/missing[46]: automake-1.8: not found WARNING: `automake-1.8' is needed, and you do not seem to have it handy on your system. You might have modified some files without having the proper tools for further handling them. Check the `README' file, it often tells you about the needed prerequirements for installing this package. You may also peek at any GNU archive site, in case some other package would contain this missing `automake-1.8' program. make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1 % automake --version automake (GNU automake) 1.8b I've tried 1.9 and it still gives me this error. Is there someway to get around this or can you direct me to where I might find automake 1.8 nowadays?

Actually, you can safely skip the msgerge step when installing. msgmerge is needed for the translaters but not for the site managers. New Makefile.in in CVS skips this step if msgmerge is not available or get some error. You have to install GNU gettext only if you want to translate and use msgmerge which is included in the GNU distro. Python gettext.py is included in the mailman distribution.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Compile Problem: msgmerge/gettext wants automake 1.8?!
Hi, I don't have cvs installed any where. How can I get that other Makefile.in file? Ok, you can download individual files from the sourceforge viewcvs interface. Go to the mailman homepage http://www.list.org/, follow the links; 'SF Project Page' - 'CVS' - 'Browse CVS Repository' and find the file for appropriate version. In this case, you must find message/Makefile.in, Release_2_1-maint. Then click download to get the latest version file.
