This works for me using autoconf-2.59-5's C4che.pm and automake-1.9.2-3's aclocal. Can you upgrade either Autoconf or Automake and try again? If that still fails, please upgrade the other and try again. Thanks. Please reopen if you can reproduce. After much debugging (including backporting FC3's automake and perl), I finally
figured out the problem. The solution is embarrassingly simple:
$ rm -r autom4te.cache
That's it.
Apparently, the auto* tools cannot detect when information in autom4te.cache
was produced by older, incompatible versions of the auto* tools, and as a
result, they will fail in mysterious ways.
While this is still a bug, it's not a critical one.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match. |
