There were recent issues with automake/autoconf in the ports collection. Check the archives for details, but in general, if you have autoconf 2.52 you need automake 1.5 or higher.
>From Will Andrew's email: "So if you see any problems like the one reported here: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=355039+0+current/freebsd-questions ..the solution is to make sure you have autoconf 2.52 AND automake 1.5 installed, because in this case, the m4 macro that's missing is defined by am 1.5." Last thing - questions about ports can go to freebsd-ports.. :) Brian On Sat, 12 Jan 2002, Nero wrote: > Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2002 01:44:46 +1100 > From: Nero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Netsaint > > I dont know that this is the right place to report this or not, > but here goes anyway.
