I've had problems building the ports gnupg-1.4.6_1 and intltool-0.35.1 using 'portmanager -u', or 'make install' in the appropriate directories of my ports tree. I keep encountering the messages(my comments in [] are not part of the message): WARNING: `automake-1.9' is missing on your system. You should only need it if you modified `Makefile.am'[or another such file], ... and WARNING: `autoconf' is missing on your system. You should only need it if you modified `configure.in' [or another such file]... which are repeated as the build seems to go into an infinite loop. I haven't modified these files (at least manually), and I've the following packages installed on my system: autoconf-2.13.000227_5 autoconf-2.53_3 autoconf-2.59_2 autoconf-2.61 automake-1.4.6_2 automake-1.5_2,1 automake-1.9.6 gmake-3.81_1 gnu-autoconf-2.61 gnu-automake-1.10 I'm running FreeBSD-6.1-RELEASE. Are these problems caused by the recent update of the gnu-autoconf and gnu-automake ports, that dispensed with gnu-autoconf-2.59 and gnu-automake-1.9, which may have been used to set up the latest gnupg and intltool ports? I'm confused about how my system is dealing with all these versions of autoconf and automake -- this is not the first time they've caused problems -- surely there's a better way to handle this, that doesn't require these redundancies, and create build problems? Is there a good way to work around these problems? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
