From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: I'm unable to compile krb5-1.2.8.src.rpm if autoconf-2.57-3 (the one that comes with Red Hat Linux 9) is installed. During the compilation process, the build stops complaining that autoconf doesn't recognize the "--localdir" and "--macrodir" arguments. To fix the problem, I uninstalled autoconf-2.57-3 and installed autoconf213-2.13-6 instead, and then made a symbolic link from /usr/bin/autoconf-2.13 to /usr/bin/autoconf. This time, I was able to recompile the SRPM successfully. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): krb5-1.2.8-1.src.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download krb5-1.2.8-1.src from RawHide 2. Make sure autocong-2.57-3 is installed 3. rpmbuild --rebuild krb5-1.2.8-1.src.rpm Actual Results: Building of the source package fails complaining that autconf doesn't support the "--localdir" or "--macrodir" command-line parameter. Expected Results: It should be possible to compile krb5-1.2.8-1.src.rpm using autoconf-2.57-3. Additional info:
I'm closing this pretty old bug as current Kerberos V packages are at upstream release 1.3. If anyone is still experiencing this, please consider upgrading to latest Kerberos V packages and open a new bug is this problem persists.
