I've been using autoconf 2.69 which appears to be the current version. I've
tried automake 1.13, 1.14, 1.14.1, 1.15, 1.15.1, and combinations of those.
Nothing worked while performing the build on GPFS. And note that I had no
trouble when building Sage 6.9 in the past.
But the Sage documentation for building from source seems to say that
autotools isn't a prerequisite for a source install unless you're modifying
things like Malefile.am:
WARNING: 'automake-1.15' 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'.
Since I'm not modifying anything, it seems like something stranger is going
on.
Note that I've downloaded the sage-8.3.tar.gz tarball (containing the
upstream tarballs) from the Sage mirrors, as well as from github. Both
failed in the same way.
