[Pan-users] Compiling CVS

[Jim Henderson]

SuSE 9.2 Pro in use here (per last e-mail message) - when I run autogen.sh, I 
get the following messages:

--- snip ---

--- snip ---

Installed version of automake is 1.9, which is >= 1.4, so I'm not sure why I 
get that message.

If I set ACLOCAL_PATH to /usr/share/aclocal/ (which is where intltool.m4 and 
pkg.m4 are located), I get the same message.

For the error message indicating:

/opt/gnome/share/aclocal/gnome2-macros/autogen.sh: line 142: --print-ac-dir: 
command not found

I looked at the line in question in that script, and it contains:

    cm_macrodirs="`$ACLOCAL --print-ac-dir`"

So I have to assume $ACLOCAL isn't set, but I can't figure out why it isn't set.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Jim
