Hi gurus,
I'm a FreeBSD noob who has generated an error, searched everywhere for solutions, and has just joined this forum (and searched it) hoping you can help.
I really need to get mysql server installed again ASAP, and preferably with Sphinx as a storage engine, or my web app in dev is delayed.
The error, is:
aclocal.m4:16: warning: this file was generated for autoconf 2.63.
You have another version of autoconf... use the procedure documented by the package, typically 'autoreconf'.
This is Automake 1.9.6, but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE comes from Automake 1.10.2.
You should recreate aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again. client/Makefile.am: required file './compile' not found.
Error code 63
I get this when trying to reinstall mysql50- server (or 51) after applying a patch to enable Sphinx as a storage engine in mysql server, as per the instructions on this page:
Enabling the Sphinx Storage Engine in MySQL via FreeBSD Ports
Specifically, here's what I did to get the error.
1. 'make deinstall clean' in the /usr/ports/databases/mysql50-server to wipe the previously installed version.
2. applied the patch, as per the instructions on the above page, which was successful.
3. 'make install clean' mysql50-server.
If it helps at all, FreeBSD is version 6.1 and I had previously done a portsnap fetch/update/extract.
I have found an online book on autotools -http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/ , and some unanswered posts on related topics on this forum, but nothing that hints at how I would fix this problem. The book is probably great - but I don't have long enough to learn it.
I hope I have provided enough information, but please post any and all necessary questions.
Thanks
