[Plplot-devel] current supported toolset?

[Maurice L. <mj...@ga...>]

Can anyone tell me what versions of autoconf/automake/libtool etc are
working for you?  Today I tried a new checkout of plplot on Solaris
and got a very long list of errors when running bootstrap.sh. E.g.

tonga$ ./bootstrap.sh 
Running aclocal (GNU automake) 1.7...aclocal: couldn't open directory
`/usr/share/libtool/libltdl': No such file or directory
 done
Running autoheader (GNU Autoconf) 2.57... done
Running automake (GNU automake) 1.7...configure.ac: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' must be
used
automake: no proper implementation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found,
automake: probably because aclocal.m4 is missing...
automake: You should run aclocal to create this file, then
automake: run automake again.
configure.ac: installing `./install-sh'
configure.ac: installing `./mkinstalldirs'
configure.ac: installing `./missing'
Makefile.am:24: enable_dyndrivers does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
Makefile.am:31: required directory ./libltdl does not exist
bindings/Makefile.am:26: enable_tcl does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
bindings/Makefile.am:30: enable_tk does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
bindings/Makefile.am:34: enable_tkwin does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
...

Aside: the first error about looking under /usr/share/libtool/libltdl is
really strange.. I run everything local to my account --

tonga$ which autoconf
/home/mjl/local/SunOS/bin/autoconf
tonga$ which automake
/home/mjl/local/SunOS/bin/automake
tonga$ which libtool
/home/mjl/local/SunOS/bin/libtool

I appear to be using:

libtool-1.4.3
autoconf-2.57
automake-1.7
