[mdb-dev] autogen error compiling current version

[Dale S. <dal...@sh...>]

Hi, I tried compiling the current github head and get the following error in autogen (Linux Mint 11, autoconf 2.5):



dale@dale-ThinkPad-T61 ~/Projects/mdbtools $ ./autogen.sh
**Warning**: I am going to run `configure' with no arguments.
If you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the
`./autogen.sh' command line.

I get the same error on FreeBSD 9.0, except the error message also notes there is an unexpected ")"

This didn't happen with the github head as of May 2010, but that was also on FreeBSD 8.2. I'm going to try re-compiling the old version again just to check what happens, but can anyone offer suggestions, or point out anything stupid I'm doing or not doing?

Thanks,
Dale
