Well, you can run autoconf, so that means you have configure.ac (it may be named configure.in). > while I have read in dics that it is needed for autoconf well I saw > these errors : > > libtoolize > Using `AC_PROG_RANLIB' is rendered obsolete by `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' That means you can remove AC_PROG_RANLIB if you use libtool. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ntop]# autoheader > autoheader: error: AC_CONFIG_HEADERS not found in configure.in Run aclocal before autoheader. BTW, I'd consider it dangerous to routinely work as root. aclocal may need arguments (such as `-I dir', if directory `dir' is also to be searched for macros). Please consult the package documentation about this, or simply tru to run `autoreconf -v' instead of all the other commands manually. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ntop]# autoconf > configure.in:59: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER > If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. > See the Autoconf documentation. > configure.in:132: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE > configure.in:857: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_CC_STDC Should all be followup errors and be gone if you run aclocal first. > configure.in:2135: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CHECK_TYPEDEF I actually don't know this Autoconf macro. Is it maybe a package-local one? If yes, then it should be named differently, not with a prefix of `AC_', so that it does not use Autoconf's "namespace". > I checked the lines but couldn't solve it and I tested it with other version > and > I had no problem while I didn't have configure.ac There is a file configure.ac present. Otherwise, autoconf throws a suitable error. Cheers, Ralf
