RE: install pspp 0.10.x on lunux

[Will Farmer]

The reason I was thinking this is because of the errors:
/pspp-0.10.2/build-aux/missing: line 81: automake-1.14: command not found
WARNING: 'automake-1.14' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
         The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
         It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
         <http://www.perl.org/>
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1

     I believe I probably mis-spoke on the difficulty of the document, John.

     It really boils down to, as I re-read and look at it, that I didn't have 
the proper pre-requisites installed. I installed the regular install packages, 
not development, and it looks like since my box wasn't really set up for 
development (it was a minimal install with very little added until it was 
necessary), that is probably the root of 95% of my problem.  As soon as I 
installed the devel packages, things have moved right along until

Yes.  If you are using an operating system such as redhat or debian which 
packages "devel"
packages those are what you need.

     I got to my next part which is that I need the automake and autoconfig 
etc. installed. Again, I didn't set up any development side items, choosing 
rather to rely on yum to install things regularly.


In order to build pspp, you need neither automake nor autoconf.  Those things 
are strictly for developers.  If you haven't changed anything they won't be 
ncessary.  Please note, that if you *did* change somehing and therefore *do* 
need autoconf/automake then you must get the right versions.
