I can't say exactly how long this has been going on, but my old way of configuring and installing bbdb v3 locally in my own account doesn't work anymore. In particular, I rather miss the --with-emacs configure option and I used to use the --with-tex-dir option as well (I know that I can replace at least the first of these by defining an environment variable, but I preferred the configure option).
However, my problems seem to run deeper than that, so I think I'll take this in stages. I'm doing all this in Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail). First I grab a completely fresh copy of bbdb v3 from git and try to run autogen.sh as instructed by the README file. Here's what I get: presnell@presnell:~/.emacs.d/install/bbdb$ ./autogen.sh autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal --force --warnings=all autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force --warnings=all configure.ac:35: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PACKAGE_DATE If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1 Any ideas? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
