Good Afternoon, I am trying to compile fwbackups using the source code from their website and I have run into a make error that has me stumped. I have successfully compiled a previous version of the software but I have very little experience with compile software and don't understand the error message presented.
A little background. I am downloading is from: http://www.diffingo.com/oss/fwbackups The commands I have used to successfully compile it are: apt-get install intltool gnome-doc-utils python-paramiko python-notify python-gtk2 wget http://downloads.diffingo.com/fwbackups/fwbackups-1.43.3rc2.tar.bz2 tar xfj fwbackups-1.43.3rc2.tar.bz2 cd fwbackups-1.43.3rc2 ./configure --prefix=/usr --datadir=/usr/share make && sudo make install I am getting the error message: /bin/bash ./config.status --recheck running CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash /bin/bash ./configure --prefix=/usr --datadir=/usr/share --no-create --no-recursion ./configure: line 1637: syntax error near unexpected token `dist-bzip2' ./configure: line 1637: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(dist-bzip2 no-dist-gzip)' make: *** [config.status] Error 2 I am doing this on a different machine and feel that i am missing some packages but I installed the same packages I installed on the first computer and I cannot deciper what the error means. I decided to run make and then sudo make install as separate commands. I get this error when I run sudo make install. Any suggestions will be nice. it is not urgent since I am at work and away from the computer.
