#62 autgen.sh fails on Mac OS X 10.1.3

[Nico Stuurman]

Since make of the latest release failed for me I tried to install
from cvs (platform Mac OS X 10.1.3). I think I have all
requirements installed and the paths set up right. However, I get
the following output from autogen.sh:

Any ideas what to do next are appreciated. Thanks for your help!

Oops, sorry. That should read Mac OS X 10.3.4.

For me autogen.sh worked on OSX. (i had to replace libtoolize, and libtool
to glibtoolize, and glibtool) also i copied aclocal.m4 to the dir as suggested
by autogen.sh

Worked out of the box for me on 10.4.3, though I do have a lot of libraries
already installed.
