Recently in order to make some constructive comments on a trac ticket I needed to build a part of it without autoconf, so I temporarily rename autoconf to something else.
Needless to say I forgot to put it back, which was lucky, as I seem to have uncovered a bug. Without autoconf, the cddlib package will not build.

Instead, the following commands setup all environment variables correctly and load a subshell for you to debug the error: (cd '/export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.6.2.rc0/spkg/build/cddlib-094f.p8' && '/export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.6.2.rc0/sage' -sh) When you are done debugging, you can type "exit" to leave the subshell. drkirkby@hawk:~/sage-4.6.2.rc0$ Can anyone else repeat reproduce this problem, if they rename autoconf and automake to something different. If this is a bug, should it be a blocker for 4.6.2, since we seem to have a perquisite that is not listed as one for Sage? It's not clear to me why autoconf/automake should be needed, as the configure script is more recent than configure.in (only by a few seconds) and Makefile.in is about 5 years newer than Makefile.am Dave -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
