As of just now, bootstrap will abort completely if any of its steps fails, instead of blindly going from step to step ignoring errors and reporting "Bootstrap complete" at the end despite having done nothing. > Please install the automake and autoconf packages, which should fix this > issue and allow bootstrap to produce configure. Are we missing instructions to install autotools (autoconf & automake) somewhere? I've looked at some of the system-specific installation notes pages on the wiki and they do seem to say "install automake and autoconf", but perhaps it's too hidden? We have too many different places where users might go to look for installation instructions, and it is impossible to keep them all up to date --- the wiki contains a huge number of outdated system-specific install instructions, and a small number of others that are carefully kept current. Which set of instructions are you following? > On Sun, Jan 05, 2020 at 05:33:02PM -0600, we recorded a bogon-computron > collision of the <[email protected]> flavor, containing: > > On Sun, Jan 5, 2020 at 4:58 PM Dominick Spina <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Lee, > > > > > > I have started a fresh install in my home directory without using sudo > > > privileges as you recommended.
