I upgraded my autotools to rawhide (and since have reverted to the 7.2 ones and many other versions) and can not get a stable automake 1.4 again:(
I am testing with the example project at http://www.murrayc.com/learning/linux/building_libraries/building_libraries.shtml#example my bootstrap script is something like #! /bin/sh mkdir -p macros aclocal -I macros \ && automake --gnu --add-missing \ && autoconf and executing just this generates the error automake -a -c --gnu && autoconf && ./configure && make dist ... creating Makefile creating examplelib-1.0.pc creating examplelib/Makefile creating examplelib/sub/Makefile creating config.h rm -rf examplelib-0.2.0 mkdir examplelib-0.2.0 chmod 777 examplelib-0.2.0 here=`cd . && pwd`; \ top_distdir=`cd examplelib-0.2.0 && pwd`; \ distdir=`cd examplelib-0.2.0 && pwd`; \ cd . \ && automake --include-deps --build-dir=$here --srcdir-name=. --output-dir=$top_distdir --gnu Makefile automake: /tmp/examplelib-0.2.0/examplelib-0.2.0.am: `/tmp/examplelib-0.2.0/examplelib-0.2.0.am' does not exist make: *** [distdir] Error 1 I am currently using the rawhide versions though the rh7.2 ones give the same error. Any ideas? $ rpm -qa | grep automake automake15-1.5-2 automake-1.4p5-4 $ rpm -qa | grep autoconf autoconf253-2.53-3 autoconf-2.13-17 $ rpm -qa | grep libtool libtool-libs13-1.3.5-2 libtool-libs-1.4.2-7 libtool-1.4.2-7 -- ----------------------------------------------------- http://witme.sourceforge.net/libferris.web/
