Unfortunately, I had a very similar problem, but received no advice. I've upgraded my workstation to Suse 6.1, but have not yet attempt to recompile libwww. I would recommend that you just get the tarball at this point. There seem to be unaddressed problems with bootstrapping the code from the CVS repository. -bryan thompson References: <3.0.5.32.19990602112917.030472e0@localhost> From: Steinar Bang <sb@metis.no> Date: 07 Jun 1999 13:38:54 +0200 Lines: 31 User-Agent: Gnus/5.070084 (Pterodactyl Gnus v0.84) XEmacs/20.4 (Emerald) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Resent-From: www-lib@w3.org X-Mailing-List: <www-lib@w3.org> archive/latest/2280 X-Loop: www-lib@w3.org Sender: www-lib-request@w3.org Resent-Sender: www-lib-request@w3.org Precedence: list >>>>> Henrik Frystyk Nielsen <frystyk@w3.org>: > When checking out directly from cvs, you need to perform a special boot > strap mechanism which generates the various make files and configure scripts: > http://www.w3.org/Library/cvs.html#Boot I fetched and installed autoconf-2.13 automake-1.4 libtool-1.3.2 which I think are the latest available versions. However I seem to have an incompatibility problem between this version libtool and the version of either autoconf or automake, because the configure terminates with the message: ... checking for BSD-compatible nm... /home/sb/apps/bin/nm -B checking whether ln -s works... yes updating cache ./config.cache ltconfig: unrecognized option `--cache-file=./config.cache' Try `ltconfig --help' for more information. configure: error: libtool configure failed Has anyone seen this and any tips as to what versions of the utilities I should pick on a SuSE linux 5.3 system? Thanx! - Steinar
