Hi Justin, Ideally, you shouldn't need autoconf tools when just running configure and make scripts. For some reason you sometimes do (with svn versions), and it matters much which version of the tools you use.
Personally, I have used the following set with no problems: m4-1.4.7.tar.bz2 autoconf-2.63.tar.gz automake-1.10.1.tar.gz libtool-2.2.6a.tar.gz found at any gnu mirror. The packages are small, and it's just a matter of standard configure and make, make install (in the order they are listed). If you're concerned about messing up for the package manager, just use e.g. "./configure --prefix=/opt/build", and add /opt/build/bin to PATH and /opt/build/lib to LDPATH. Good luck. --Eystein On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 5:02 PM, Justin Lloyd <jll...@digitalglobe.com> wrote: > I’m attempting my first build of cfengine 3 out of svn and it appears to > want version 1.10 of automake, which starts a whole chain of dependencies > (autoconf, m4, certain functions in rpmlib) that are not available as > updates to RHEL 5.
