Hi All, I'm hoping somebody can explain to me how to use the autotools (automake, autoconf, libtool, etc.) in FreeBSD 4.10 because plainly I'm doing something quite wrong. I am trying to build turck-mmcache-2.4.6 with PHP 4.3.9 and with this (and other PHP modules) I am continually getting aclocal and libtool related errors, even after installing *all* of the various autoconf and automake options. I see that they are all getting installed with names like "autoconf259" and so on so I suspect that it has something to do with the fact that "phpize" can't figure out what's going on. I've done quite a few web searches looking for info on how to do this sort of thing properly but I can't seem to find anything either on the FreeBSD site or elsewhere. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great. Here are some examples of the behavior I'm seeing: --- sol# ./pear install APC downloading APC-2.0.4.tgz ... Starting to download APC-2.0.4.tgz (44,606 bytes) ............done: 44,606 bytes 35 source files, building running: phpize aclocal: not found `phpize' failed --- sol# which aclocal aclocal: Command not found. sol# which aclocal18 /usr/local/bin/aclocal18 --- I've tried creating a soft link to the various utilities involved but this just results in unresolved m4 macros so I don't think this is a proper solution, even if I could get it working. Any help would be apreciated! -Gabe -- go at quay dot net http://web.quay.net/ http://web.quay.net/gpg/
