hello,
When I try to install application, compile stuff and so on,
I regularly run into a warning message saying that I should
upgrade autoconf. I have 2.13 and I see here:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/
that the autoconf 2.13 is nearly 5 years old!!!
I tried urpme autoconf and then urpmi autoconf, but I end up
with the same version...
I read the following:
***********************
$ cat /usr/share/doc/autoconf-2.13/IMPORTANT.README.MDK
-- PLEASE NOTICE ---> this version is meant to coexist with
autoconf-2.5x;
to that end, the various binaries are actually linked to a
script which
decides which version to execute. It tries to be clever and
will execute
2.5x if `configure.ac' is present, or if `configure.in'
contains AC_PREREQ
and the value's 3 first letters are stringwise greater than
'2.1'. If
anything fails, you can manually select 2.13 by providing
the environment
variable WANT_AUTOCONF_2_1 set to `1' (use WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5
if you want
the 2.5x version).
***********************
but I still get:
$ autoconf --version
Autoconf version 2.13
$ export WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1
$ autoconf --version
Autoconf version 2.13
and other applications are still complaining about it...
I tried to download the source files for autoconf 2.5*.
I did
#./configure
#make
#make INSTALL
but the result is the same...
What am I missing?
thanks,
Anguo
