boostrap failing

[Jowell, Chris {D177~Roswell}]

OK I've copied the versions of autoconf and automake from SuSE 7.2 (which
works... Still!) to /opt/rtems/bin on my 7.3 box which helped.

But bootstrap still does not complete without errors, have I missed
something else? 


Thanks!
Christopher 



This is the error bootstrap produces now:

I think that's the problem.  SuSE has updated the autoconf package. Ralf
and I talked about this a while back expecting this to occur eventually
in various distributions.  The problem boils down to tools (including
RTEMS) that use autoconf/automake can end up being dependent on 
particular versions of those tools.  In this case, RTEMS 4.5-X uses
autoconf 2.13 and automake 1.4p5.  RTEMS snapshots past the Aug/Sept
timeframe require autoconf 2.52 and automake 1.5.

Notice what I have on the main RTEMS development machine.

bash$ rpm -qa | grep auto
autoconf-2.13-5
automake-1.4-6
autoconf-rtems-2.52-0
automake-rtems-1.5-0

The rtems ones are in /opt/rtems.  When I work with snapshots, I
bootstrap
with those at the fron of my PATH.  Otherwise I use the ones shipped
with
the OS.

For now, you need to install autoconf 2.13 somewhere that does not 
conflict with the default version installed and use that to bootstrap.
