What's wrong ?
+ running aclocal -I m4 -I common/m4 ...
aclocal: configure.ac: 8: macro `AM_DISABLE_STATIC' not found in library
aclocal: configure.ac: 17: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library
aclocal failed
A: aclocal is unable to find two macros installed by libtool in a file called libtool.m4. Normally this would indicate that you don't have libtool, but that would mean autogen.sh would have failed on not finding libtool.
It is more likely that you installed automake (which provides aclocal) in a different prefix than libtool. You can check this by examining in what prefix both aclocal and libtool are installed.
You can do three things to fix this :
install automake in the same prefix as libtool
force use of the automake installed in the same prefix as libtool by using the --with-automake option
figure out what prefix libtool has been installed to and point aclocal to the right location by running
export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I $(prefix)/share/aclocal" |
