* Missing ltconfig ================== Message: configure.in: 17: required file `./ltconfig' not found Reason: You are probably using an older version of libtool (<1.4) and it needs ltconfig. Action: run "libtoolize --force". * syntax error in configure.in near PKG_CHECK_MODULES ===================================================== Message: ./configure: line 1720: syntax error near unexpected token `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GLIB,' ./configure: line 1720: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GLIB, glib-2.0 >= 1.3.1)' Reason: Maybe you ran "aclocal" and pkg.m4 or glib*.m4 was missing in the default aclocal share path (usually /usr/share/aclocal) Action: run "aclocal -I /the/pach/containing/pkg.m4". Then run "autoconf". The path containing pkg.m4 is usually near the place where pkg-config is. For example, if pkg-config is in /home/me/local/bin, pkg.m4 will be in /home/me/local/share/aclocal. * an example of complete sequence is : ====================================== $ aclocal -I /home/me/local/share/aclocal $ libtoolize --force $ autoheader $ autoconf $ automake $ ./configure --prefix="/where/you/want/to/install/libmaitretarot" $ make Versions of each tools for this install are : aclocal (GNU automake) 1.4 libtoolize (GNU libtool) 1.3.3 Autoconf version 2.13 automake (GNU automake) 1.4
