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 -- Maurice LeBrun mj...@ga...

Ahem.
tonga$ fgrep /usr/share *
bootstrap.sh: -I /usr/share/libtool/libltdl
bootstrap.sh:aclocal_opts=${aclocal_opts:="-I /usr/share/libtool/libltdl"}
Not cool. Surely there is a better way?

Sure, this is a hack. Even worse: not documented. Suggestions for
improvement are welcome.
For now, you can try:
./bootstrap.sh -I /home/mjl/local/SunOS/share/libtool/libltdl
or something similar.

I meant: not very well documented. Indeed:
$ ./bootstrap.sh --help
Usage: ./bootstrap.sh [OPTIONS] [ACLOCAL OPTIONS]
Options:
--version=VER
--date-version
--help
aclocal options usually look like:
-I /usr/share/libtool/libltdl

But you have to let bootstrap.sh know where a particular libltdl directory is (see ./bootstrap.sh --help). From the information above, I think you have to run ./bootstrap.sh -I /home/mjl/local/SunOS/share/libtool/libltdl/ but you should check that that directory exists and is filled with the correct files. On my system ls /home/software/autotools/install/share/libtool/libltdl/ COPYING.LIB Makefile.in acinclude.m4 config-h.in configure.in ltdl.h Makefile.am README aclocal.m4 configure* ltdl.c stamp-h.in Hope this information helps you get going with the latest PLplot, Maurice. Following up on Maurice's later comment: Rafael, would it be straightforward to supply a default for this -I option consisting of appending '../share/libtool/libltdl/' to the results of `which libtool`? I believe such a default would take care of most if not all of our needs so we would could simply invoke ./bootstrap.sh without parameters most of the time. Alan __________________________ Alan W.

Please, tell me what this shell snippet gives for you:
prefix=`which libtool | sed 's:/bin/libtool::'`
if test -n "$prefix" ; then
acdir=${prefix}/share/libtool/libltdl
if test -d $acdir ; then
if test -f ${acdir}/aclocal.m4 ; then
aclocal_opts="-I $acdir"
fi
fi
fi
echo aclocal_opts: $aclocal_opts
If this works, I will integrate it into bootstrap.sh.

Thanks, Rafael, for making this improved aclocal_opts detection possible. It works for me, and I like the fact that the user's choice is overridden for aclocal_opts only in the case when the correct aclocal_opts is positively detected for their libtool. Therefore, I committed it subject, of course, to any more tweaking you want to do. Alan __________________________ Alan W.

Works for me:
aclocal_opts: -I /home/mjl/local/SunOS/share/libtool/libltdl
