Hello
1. Fedora Core 4 is not the latest, however it's all I have to work with in
the shared hosting environment I have.
2. I hunted but couldn't find any binaries that would work for this Fedora
build... hence I was only left with building my own... can't be too hard can
it?
3. I downloaded the latest sources (not CVS, from the tar.gz) so I have
mdbtools-0.5.tar.gz sources.
4. The ./configure step failed:
a. I tried updating my glib version, however this only went to v1.2
b. Tried installing glib2 (which is actually version glib v2.6)
c. Also had to install & upgrade pkgconfig
d. glib2 installed into /usr/include/glib-2.0 - don't know why but I fixed
this in configure.in by specifying OPTDIRS="/usr/include/glib-2.0"
e. Configure appears to work okay, although it still reports an error
'cannot find -lreadline', not sure if this is critical
5. The make step now fails:
a. It was reporting a cmd not found, aclocal-1.6. I went to /usr/bin and
built a symbolic link to aclocal as aclocal-1.6 and this worked fine.
b. Now the bit I'm stuck on...
-bash-3.00# make
cd . && aclocal-1.6
configure.in:127: error: `src/Makefile' is already registered with
AC_CONFIG_FILES.
autoconf/status.m4:848: AC_CONFIG_FILES is expanded from...
configure.in:127: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal-1.6: autom4te failed with exit status: 1
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1
Is anybody able to help me solve this problem please?
Cheers
mc
