When compiling apertium-sme-nob on xserve, I get the error msg: configure.ac:8: error: Autoconf version 2.62 or higher is required

And true enough: apertium-sme-nob$autoconf --version autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61

But looking at configure.ac, I read:

Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script.

AC_PREREQ(2.52)

which might lead me to believe that configure.ac actually is satisfied with 2.52. In any case, my compilation stops there.

MacPorts is installed on the xserve, and it sports autoconf version 2.67

autoconf --version autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.67

which autoconf /opt/local/bin/autoconf

Setup your paths so that /opt/local/bin (MacPorts' path is before anything else)

we take it again:

Here is the PATH line in my .bashrc: PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin/$HOME/bin:$HOME/gtsvn/gt/script:$FORREST_HOME/bin:$HOME/gtsvn/gt/script/samiXMLParser:/opt/sami/xerox/c-fsm/ix86-linux2.6-gcc3.4/bin/

and here is the (unchanged) result of my compilation:

apertium-sme-nob$./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local

Try this: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh works for me, and things get installed to /usr/local

Let's compare setups, then.

$ echo $PATH /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Network/Servers/divvun.no/Users/boerre/Dokumenter/private/trunk/polderland/bin:/Network/Servers/divvun.no/Users/boerre/forrest/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Network/Servers/divvun.no/Users/boerre/gtsvn/gt/script:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin

$ which autoconf /opt/local/bin/autoconf

This setup results in: $ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /opt/local/bin/ginstall -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /opt/local/bin/gmkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for gawk...

If you do echo $PATH, what does it say?

Somewhere in your setup /opt/local/bin is placed behind /usr/bin. You'll have to change the setup there. Have a look at .profile, .bash_profile and .bashrc.

Here is my path on xserve:

the error msg is the same.

I did the following without any problems (clean install in my home dir):

svn co http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/lttoolbox cd lttoolbox PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh make sudo make install cd ..

svn co http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/apertium cd apertium PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh make sudo make install cd ..

svn co http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/staging/apertium-sme-nob cd apertium-sme-nob PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh make sudo make install
