error installing guile from CVS

error installing guile from CVS

[Maarten Grachten]

Hi,

I just checked out the guile module. I go to the guile-core directory and 
(since there is no ./configure) issue:

# sh autogen.sh 

which gives me:

aclocal: guile-config/guile.m4: 83: duplicated macro `GUILE_FLAGS'
autoreconf2.50: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
 at /usr/bin/autoreconf2.50 line 263

(that's all)

First of all, I'm not completely sure whether this is the right first step 
of the compilation process. But if so, does any of you have an idea what 
causes this error? Supposing problems with outdated versions of autoconf I 
updated to the latest versions of autoconf and automake. I noticed that I 
have a /usr/bin/autoreconf which is version 2.53. Strange enough, an 
older version, /usr/bin/autoreconf2.50 seems to be invoked.

Thanks for any help,

Maarten Grachten

What happens if you run it a second time?  Same thing?

Now I have:

aclocal: configure.in: 59: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1 

(the same thing over and over again when I run it multiple times)

What version of libtool are you using?  i.e. libtoolize --version

the error:

aclocal: configure.in: 59: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

was on Debian Woody, with gnu libtoolize --version 1.4.2a

To make things more interesting (or more diffuse, you say it), 
when I try to install from CVS on RedHat 7.2, 

$ sh autogen.sh

gives me:

aclocal: guile-config/guile.m4: 83: duplicated macro `GUILE_FLAGS'
aclocal: guile-config/qthreads.m4: 67: duplicated macro 
`QTHREADS_CONFIGURE'
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
 at /usr/bin/autoreconf line 263

Do you think these errors have a common cause?

Maarten

I suspect (but don't know) that they're related to your version of
libtool.  If possible, you might try upgrading to 1.4.3 and re-run
autogen.sh a couple of times.  That's just off the top of my head,
though.  I won't have time to think about it harder until later...

Great! For Debian, updating libtool (to 1.4.5 that is) solved the 
problem, although I had a few of these warinings:

configure.in:44: warning: AC_CANONICAL_HOST invoked multiple times

For RedHat however, the problems stayed the same after updating:

aclocal: guile-config/guile.m4: 83: duplicated macro `GUILE_FLAGS'
aclocal: guile-config/qthreads.m4: 67: duplicated macro 
`QTHREADS_CONFIGURE'
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
 at /usr/bin/autoreconf line 263


But, as I plan to migrate from RedHat to Debian on this machine soon, for 
me this is not really a matter of life and death. However, if you 
still want to solve the problem for academical reasons, I could serve as 
your executive assistant :-)

Thanks a lot for your interest and help!

Maarten

For what it's worth this is an artifact of autoconf AC_MINGW32 (in
2.57 at least).  I think it's harmless.
