No. automake 1.11 is fully supported. :) (of course, I totally understand if you don't want to believe me) We also don't require 2.62. 2.59 is the > Thanks and you can see below the details of what I did. It _seems_ to me, although I can't prove it, that there was something wrong with your install. ./config/autorun.sh: running `/opt/local/bin/aclocal-1.11 -I m4' configure.ac:27: error: Autoconf version 2.62 or higher is required This is coming from the run of aclocal, which is part of automake. aclocal does not call the autoconf binary, so the _path_ that your autoconf is in doesn't matter. It _does_ look at m4 macros, though, and I'm guessing it's finding autoconf macros out of /usr/share, which would correspond to the system autoconf which would be 2.61 on osx. I'm going to run off and see if I can reproduce this and/or give you a better workaround. > ================== > revno: 1124 [merge] > committer: Brian Aker <br...@gaz> > branch nick: staging > timestamp: Mon 2009-08-24 13:01:53 -0700 > message: > Merge Monty > ================== > > $ ./config/autorun.sh > Grabbing changelog and version information from bzr > ./config/autorun.sh: running `python config/register_plugins.py' > ./config/autorun.sh: running `/usr/bin/glibtoolize --automake --copy --force' > ./config/autorun.sh: running `/opt/local/bin/aclocal-1.11 -I m4' > configure.ac:27: error: Autoconf version 2.62 or higher is required > /opt/local/share/aclocal-1.11/init.m4:110: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is expanded > from... > m4/pandora_canonical.m4:152: PANDORA_CANONICAL_TARGET is expanded from... > configure.ac:27: the top level > autom4te: /usr/bin/gm4 failed with exit status: 63 > aclocal-1.11: autom4te failed with exit status: 63 > Can't execute aclocal > ================== > > $ autoconf --version > autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61 > Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. > This is free software.
