make/aclocal problem

[Andre Louw]

Hi to everyone. I've been gone for a while but I'm back with a
vengeance. I have not, for the last 4 months looked at the mailing
lists, so what I'm asking might be a repeat, if so please tell me and
I'll look for the answer

I've updated to fedora core3 and are running the following versions:

    gcc version 3.4.2
    GNU libtool  version 1.5.6
    swig version 1.3.21
    GNU automake version 1.9.2
    GNU autoconf version 2.59
    GNU make version 3.80

I've updated my copy of QuantLib via CVS and have a problem. I started
with just a straight ./configure which worked OK, running make resulted
in the following error:

    [andre@mercury /QuantLib]$ make
    cd . &&
    /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
    make: *** [configure] Error 2

So, then I ran ./autogen and it came up with the following:

    [andre@mercury /QuantLib]$ sh ./autogen.sh
    Can't locate object method "path" via package "Request" at
/usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/C4che.pm line 69, <GEN1> line 319.
    aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1
    autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

What am I missing? Any suggestions please.

Hi Andre,

I am working on absolutely identical setup (all the version numbers
match) and it's basically up to date FC3. However I cannot replicate the
problem. Is it possible that there is something stale in your directory
structure that is stuffing things up? Can you still replicate the issue
if you check out a clean copy? In particular I note that CVS does not
have the configure script and it's only generated by autogen.sh.

Cheers,

Dave.
