welcome ubu606new not much info to go on check your distro's package manager they usually have all the make tools available.

Hi,

What distribution are you using? If it was updated in the last few years you should be fine. If not, it might be a little bit harder to get working.

It's very possible that you already have the correct versions of automake/autoconf installed. (I assume you are using the latest SVN version!)

Debian as well as other distributions for some reason make 1.4 or lower the default, which doesn't work. You will want the latest version installed.
You may want to check in /usr/bin and look for all autoconf* automake* autoheader* and aclocal* programs.

You will then have to export the environment variables AUTOMAKE, AUTOCONF, ACLOCAL and AUTOHEADER to point to the latest versions of each of those programs, if they are installed.

If you in fact simply have an old distribution, you will have to find and install, or compile from source, the latest autoconf and automake packages, which again depends on your distribution.

Post by ubu606new »

like my username say, my ubuntu is 606LTS (june 2006)...i think isn't older
my windows XP was 2004......i looked in my /usr/bin with 'ls -al au*' and the konsole say me only oe file ......autopoint...so no autoconf,no automake ,no autoheader....and with 'ls -al ac*' ,the konsole saay me
-aconect
-acpi
-acroread
-activation-client
but nothing about ..aclocal

perhaps this is the reason the pc can't find a new version, ....
thanks for your next replay

so you will have to install the development packages with apt-get in the terminal or synaptic with the GUI i do not know what Ubuntu calls them so you might have a look at the Ubuntu forums for specifics.good luck

in the vegastrike directory

Code: Select all

sh bootstrap-sh 2>bserr
this will create a file named bserr with all error messages by bootstrap-sh
try running /(sbin)ldconfig before bootstrap-sh
post bserr file back as attachment
if current_situation=fact and if current_situation=faith
then current_forcast = excitement

As loki1950 said, you will want to install the autoconf and automake packages, or you might need the autotools or autotools-dev packages.

Try this:

Code: Select all

# apt-get install autoconf
# apt-get install automake
Also, if you look, you can see a message "sh: autoconf: command not found" which indicates that the program is not installed.
