Dear all, Below is the output I get when I try to compile grep, with similar result in gzip. Before, I solved it by substituting all occurrences of 1.12a into 1.12 or 1.13.1. The compile then went on without problem.
I wonder why there is nothing in the book about it. I encounter this problem every single time and can't belief I am the only one. ---- output while making grep ---- Pres key to run make.... CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /mnt/lfs/sources/grep/grep-2.14/build-aux/missing aclocal-1.12a -I m4 cd . && /bin/sh /mnt/lfs/sources/grep/grep-2.14/build-aux/missing automake-1.12a --gnu /mnt/lfs/sources/grep/grep-2.14/build-aux/missing: line 81: automake-1.12a: command not found WARNING: 'automake-1.12a' is missing on your system. You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or 'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'. The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package: <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake> It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run: <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf> <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/> <http://www.perl.org/> make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1 Pres key to run make check.... -------------- The thing is that many pieces of software did compile before, even if the where created with automake-1.11 older. You get warnings, but that did not stop the compile. With grep and gzip the compile aborts. Suggestions?
