| Installing GD on 10.3.9 Server Hi- I'm installing gd on a 10.3.9 server and have ironed out all the problems in installing the required components and I've configured gd successfully, but it fails on make. The error is: configure.ac:28: error: Autoconf version 2.58 or higher is required But I have installed the 2.58 so I'm not sure why it keeps saying that. I used fink to install it. Do I need to somehow refresh it or force it to use the highest version? I'm using the latest version of gd. The one previous didn't work. But maybe I should try the older one again. Thanks, Nicki  |

| An update- I have installed autoconf 2.59 and 2.58 manually after using fink b/c when I asked it what version it was it says 2.57 It still says 2.57 /usr/bin/autoconf --version autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57 And my make still fails due to it not being 2.58 or higher. |

| More than likely you are installing a second copy of autoconf (original is in /usr/bin/autoconf) and the configure script is not finding it. When you do the 'make install' for Autoconf 2.58/2.59, what is the installation prefix?? /usr/local/bin/autoconf perhaps? |

| ok, this is what i think we're looking for- it's in user/local/bin. so, how do i force it to use that one? should i try to force it to install to /usr/bin or try to force gd to use /usr/local? thanks so much ..... Making install in bin /bin/sh ../config/mkinstalldirs /usr/local/bin /usr/bin/install -c autom4te /usr/local/bin/autom4te /usr/bin/install -c autoconf /usr/local/bin/autoconf /usr/bin/install -c autoheader /usr/local/bin/autoheader /usr/bin/install -c autoreconf /usr/local/bin/autoreconf /usr/bin/install -c ifnames /usr/local/bin/ifnames /usr/bin/install -c autoscan /usr/local/bin/autoscan /usr/bin/install -c autoupdate /usr/local/bin/autoupdate |

| Well, you can compile *AUTOCONF* by doing a 'configure --prefix=/usr/' - that will put the files into the current directory. That's probably the easiest way. If you wish to have multiple versions of autoconf - then you'll have to either edit the autoconf template within the program you are compiling, or juggle symbolic links around. (there MAY be an autoconf environment variable - you'd have to check some man pages on that - I'm not 100% sure). EDIT: do a "./configure --help | more" for a list of which switches are available for the package you are compiling. |

| So I tried running configure ./configure --prefix=/usr/bin --mandir=/usr/man1 --infodir=/usr/info b/c the info dir was complaining too. That worked and I installed gd. Success! Thanks to you. However, my gd tests aren't acting exactly as I would expect them too. Have you ever run the tests or know anything about them? It's giving me a good error so I think I installed it ok, maybe I just need to change some things... WWW:/Users/csserv/Desktop/gdbuild/gd-2.0.34 nhandy$ ./gdtest test/gdtest.png Reference File has 5 Palette entries %Initial Versions: OK Bus error When I run this, I have to sudo to get it to work.... WWW:/Users/csserv/Desktop/gdbuild/gd-2.0.34 nhandy$ ./gdtestft Zapfino.dfont I feel like I shouldn't have to sudo to use the functions, you know? I think I'll just have to work the permissions a little. But, it works and I'm psyched- thanks so much for your help! |
