I am trying to build FPING:- ftp://ftp.mirrors.wiretapped.net/pub/security/network-mapping/fping/fping-2.4b2.tar.gz
and get some strange errors when running configure & Make:- creating Makefile creating config.h make cd . && automake Makefile configure.in: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found. configure.in: You should verify that configure.in invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, configure.in: that aclocal.m4 is present in the top-level directory, configure.in: and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using aclocal). configure.in: required file `./missing' not found Makefile.am: required file `./depcomp' not found /usr/local/share/automake-1.7/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepCC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL /usr/local/share/automake-1.7/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1 CONFIG_FILES=Makefile CONFIG_HEADERS= ./config.status creating Makefile Makefile:16: *** missing separator. Stop. I have just run ./configure as instructed in the INSTALL doc. Should I be using some old version of Automake or do I also need run something else before configure to bring things uptodate? -- John
