Which version of perl?
Ya, the culprit was the older version of perl. Should the
automake configure script be fixed to flag an error if older
version of perl is installed on the system.
Thanks for pointing out the problem.

Hi, Thanks for replying. But I am getting the error even if I use the gmake. Making all in . gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/praveen/automake-1.4' gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'. gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/praveen/automake-1.4' Making all in m4 gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/praveen/automake-1.4/m4' gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/praveen/automake-1.4/m4' Making all in tests gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/praveen/automake-1.4/tests' gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/praveen/automake-1.4/tests' The reason seems to be that there is no action for the above targets. I am not sure whether the problem is due to configure script that is run first. Is there any known problem with the configure script on HP-UX.

But for instance with Bison and a2ps, the only problems I has with gettext 0.10.33 were people using HPUX Make. For a time I tried to find the origin, but dropped it, too painful. My feelings at that time were that it was probably getting lost when there are at least to levels of dependencies (I fairly well recall of Bison and Flex rules which were triggered although the files I shipped were up to date). In each of these cases (and I'm talking about *dozens* of such ``bug report''), suggesting using GNU Make instead solved the problem. I never received any comparable bug report for non HP native Makes.

| Making all in .
| gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/praveen/automake-1.4'

As can be seen from the above message, there is no action
associated with the targets. As a result nothing is getting
done under these two directories m4 and tests.
The same thing happens when I do make install. It is cribbing
that there is no suffix list and as a result the m4 files are
not getting copied or installed.
I am not sure whether it is an error. But automake perl script
gets installed under /usr/local/bin.
When I run automake with --version option to check the version
it gives the foll. error:
syntax error in file /usr/local/bin/automake at line 3227, next 2 tokens
"push_dist_common ("
Execution of /usr/local/bin/automake aborted due to compilation errors.
