[mdb-dev] Autogen.sh fails on Solaris 7

[Celeste S. B. <csb...@ci...>]

I've succeeded in downloading the CVS version of mdbtools. I've tried
repeatedly to get a ./configure file by running autogen.sh. I've failed.

I have the most recent versions of autoconf, automake, m4, and libtool.

The printout I get is as follows:

geobase1{csburris}2: ./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.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a workaround?
