You've upgraded to autoconf 2.57, right?
Joe, yes, that's correct... I'm currently at autoconf-2.57-3.5 and automake- 1.7.4-1.7.
That's not a supported configuration then, sorry - lots of RHL9 packages will fail to rebuild if you upgrade to the Raw Hide autoconf or libtool RPMs. You can take the php-4.2.2-cxx.patch from the Raw Hide php package and add it in if you want get this one working.
Thanks Joe, I'll review my options and either fallback to previous versions of autoconf and libtool, etc and/or pursue the option of grabbing that patch you referred to... I didn't intentionally install anything from rawhide, but I recently started using a tool called "apt", which I suspect grabbed something as a prereq, etc... Since you mentioned that rawhide updates are not supported per se, are the updates found on updates.redhat.com fully supported? In other words, if I fallback to versions of packages on updates.redhat.com, will I be in a supported configuration? Thanks
Yes, if you stick to updates from updates.redhat.com (or from Red Hat Network using "up2date") then you'll remain in a supported configuration.
