Then that's the most likely cause.

Updating is advisable.  M4 1.4.8 is the current version.  It has
many bugfixes over 1.4.2, and there are a couple of tricky cases
where the latter is known to fail (in conjunction with autoconf).

If you excuse a small plug: Automake 1.10 and (unreleased) Autoconf 2.62
will both help to eliminate a large part of config.status execution time,
compared with the 1.9.6/2.59 combo (OpenMPI was used for testing here):

Re: [OMPI devel] Build system changes

That could be the problem. I had to update automake, and unfortunately
Darwin Ports hasn't reached that level yet. So I had to build and install
automake by hand under my own bin directory. But libtool etc are all in
/usr/bin.

I'll give your suggestion a shot later - gotta run.

Thanks
Ralph

Another question: does the aclocal from Automake 1.10 find the
libtool.m4 file from your Libtool installation?  IOW, if Libtool
and Automake are not installed below the same $prefix, then you
need to do something: either put the path to libtool.m4 in the
file $automake_prefix/share/aclocal/dirlist, or pass some -I
parameters to aclocal.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf

Which version of m4 do you use?  Did libtoolize throw an error (earlier
in the autogen output)?

Cheers,

Yo Brian

I updated this morning and hit a few problems. I found I was using autoconf
2.60, so I had to update to automake 1.10 as you indicated. However, once I
did that, I still couldn't build due to the following errors:

configure.in:1994: warning: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library
[Running] autoheader
[Running] autoconf
configure.in:1997: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
  If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
  See the Autoconf documentation.

-
It seems that the execution of "autoconf" has failed.  See above for
the specific error message that caused it to abort.

This *MAY* be caused by an older version of one of the required
packages.  Please make sure you are using at least the following
versions:

GNU Autoconf 2.59
GNU Automake 1.9.6
GNU Libtool  1.5.16
-

Error running autogen.sh -l in romio.  Aborting.
pn1169403:~/openmpi/trunk rhc$

I am running:

Autoconf 2.60
Automake 1.10
Libtool 1.5.22

Any suggestions?
Ralph
