However, the main developers are developing for Linux ( I'm the person stuck getting it to run on FreeBSD/etc. ). I've recently upgraded my dev box to FreeBSD 4.11 ( 5.3 wouldn't install on the box at all ) . I installed automake19, autoconf259, and libtool15. However NONE of the Linux HA tools would work. They were looking for automake ( not automake19) so as a check, I created soft links. This seemed to work until something needed to re-run the autotools. Then I get errors like this: WARNING: `automake-1.9' is needed, and you do not seem to have it handy on your system. You might have modified some files without having the proper tools for further handling them. Check the `README' file, it often tells you about the needed prerequirements for installing this package. You may also peek at any GNU archive site, in case some other package would contain this missing `automake-1.9' program. The tools is attempting to rebuild using the tools it found ( and the specific version too ): ACLOCAL='${SHELL} /usr/local/src/linux-ha/missing --run aclocal-1.9' AUTOCONF='${SHELL} /usr/local/src/linux-ha/missing --run autoconf' AUTOHEADER='${SHELL} /usr/local/src/linux-ha/missing --run autoheader' AUTOMAKE='${SHELL} /usr/local/src/linux-ha/missing --run automake-1.9' Autoheader and Autoconf appears to not care about the specific tool versions used, but aclocal and automake do. Would it be possible to have the package install either a symlink or a hardlink for the specific files ? Example: ls -la /usr/local/bin/ | grep automake lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 May 12 02:35 /usr/local/bin/automake - > automake19 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 May 15 02:35 /usr/local/bin/automake-1.9 -> automake19 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 221509 May 12 02:35 /usr/local/bin/automake19 Thanks Matt Soffen
