Operating Systems BSD You have another version of autoconf... Post 302336759 by userunx on Wednesday 22nd of July 2009 06:18:18 PM

I did understand that the error message suggested to user autoreconf. I can read what I typed in my first post. But perhaps I should have been clearer in my question. Is there any chance anyone in this forum can provide an example or any instructions on *how* to use autoreconf, and in this context - installing mysql50-server? Or would anyone care to find another solution? I don't want to waste anyones time, which is why I googled this subject first, and even found a book on GNU autotools, but I simply don't have the time to read/learn it to resolve this issue. Any 1., 2., 3. style instruction would be useful for not just myself but any other FreeBSD/Linux noobs who have the impression that after thoroughly searching for an existing solution in the net, and not finding one, they may graciously/patiently be helped here. And then, in the future, should I find others with similar issues here, I knowing how to user autoreconf, would try to take more than 3 seconds to write more than a (sarcastic and redundant) one-liner reply to help others. I hope this is how good forums work. But then again, these fora have a lot of viewers and very few people attempting solutions. Perhaps I joined the wrong one? Thanks

It appears the preview function likes to strip all carriage returns from posts... and my last reply has been transformed from a few paragraphs to a single block. Great

AUTORECONF(1)							   User Commands						     AUTORECONF(1)

NAME

       autoreconf - Update generated configuration files

SYNOPSIS

       autoreconf [OPTION] ... [TEMPLATE-FILE]

DESCRIPTION

       Run  `autoconf'	(and  `autoheader', `aclocal' and `automake', where appropriate) repeatedly to remake the Autoconf `configure' scripts and
       configuration header templates in the directory tree rooted at the current directory.  By default, it only remakes  those  files  that  are
       older  than  their  predecessors.  If you install a new version of Autoconf, running `autoreconf' remakes all of the files by giving it the
       `--force' option.

   Operation modes:
       -h, --help
	      print this help, then exit

       -V, --version
	      print version number, then exit

       -v, --verbose
	      verbosely report processing

       -d, --debug
	      don't remove temporary files

       -f, --force
	      consider every files are obsolete

       -i, --install
	      copy missing auxiliary files

       -s, --symlink
	      instead of copying, install symbolic links

       The option `--install' is similar to the option `--add-missing' in other tools.

   Library directories:
       -A, --autoconf-dir=ACDIR
	      Autoconf's macro files location (rarely needed)

       -l, --localdir=DIR
	      location of `aclocal.m4' and `acconfig.h'

       -M, --m4dir=M4DIR
	      this package's Autoconf extensions

       Unless specified, heuristics try to compute `M4DIR' from the `Makefile.am', or defaults to `m4' if it exists.

   The following options are passed to `automake':
       --cygnus
	      assume program is part of Cygnus-style tree

       --foreign
	      set strictness to foreign

       --gnits
	      set strictness to gnits

       --gnu  set strictness to gnu

       --include-deps
	      include generated dependencies in Makefile.in

       The environment variables AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOMAKE, and ACLOCAL are honored.
