Invalid configuration > `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized This means that Greg’s ‘config.guess’ (which originates from Autoconf) is very, very old, and doesn’t know this architecture, leading to: > ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify' > Try `ltconfig --help' for more information. > configure: error: libtool configure failed AFAIK Greg has been mostly unmaintained for several years. Still, you could try regenerating the configure machinery with a current Autoconf and see what happens. Thanks, Ludo’.
