The libmodbus package build fails on Fedora 21/Rawhide during autoconf. The specfile is the same revision as Fedora 18-20 and EPEL6, all of which pass. The error in the build log [1] looks like this: + autoreconf configure.ac:65: error: required file './compile' not found configure.ac:65: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'compile' I blindly tried the 'automake --add-missing' suggestion, but that failed too. From the log [2]: + automake --add-missing aclocal.m4:17: warning: this file was generated for autoconf 2.68. You have another version of autoconf. It may work, but is not guaranteed to. If you have problems, you may need to regenerate the build system entirely. To do so, use the procedure documented by the package, typically `autoreconf'. configure.ac:28: error: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.14, configure.ac:28: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.ac:28: comes from Automake 1.11.6. You should recreate configure.ac:28: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.

libmodbus v3.0.5 (git project) doesn't provide aclocal.m4 but this file is generated when the tarball is created with 'make dist'. You'll certainly need to generate the tarball (make dist) on Fedora 21 (or a recent distributions) to avoid the version mismatch (I can provide one if you want). Do you know why the logs complain about bogus dates?
(Reopening this & assigning to myself until fc21 package builds are fixed) (Note that tarballs must come from an upstream release, with URL in 'Source0:', or we'll see more Buildsys messages about md5sum mismatches.) The released tarball does include aclocal.m4, but doesn't match the new files generated by 'automake --add-missing' on fc21. This is solved by running 'aclocal' in the %prep section [1]. Bogus dates: See [2] Thanks for the clues! Looks like the package is back on track.
