Hi all,
I got the following error message due to a missing pkg-config installation—Perhaps there could be a better error message:
Did you get errors from bootstrap? configure should never hold the m4 macros.
No errors with respect to pkg-config:
$ ./bootstrap ... configure.in:166: warning: macro `AM_ICONV' not found in library patching file aclocal.m4 Hunk #1 succeeded at 439 (offset -5947 lines). configure.in:166: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_ICONV If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation.
I'm also a little bit puzzled that you ask about m4 as the exact line 'PKG_CHECK_MODULES(monetdbtools, monetdb-stream...' is already in configure.ag.
Please just install pkg-config, and it's m4 macro that comes with it (-devel?) And also consider isntalling gettext(-devel?), to get the necessary AM_ICONV macro.
Fabian, that's where my mail started from. Installing pkg-config got the intial strange error message sorted out. I was just wondering that pkg-config itself is not checked by configure (to give a more useful error message). As to AM_ICONV—this seems to be not optional as a call to AM_ICONV still resides in the generated configure file... -- Jan Rittinger Lehrstuhl Datenbanken und Informationssysteme Wilhelm-Schickard-Institut für Informatik Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen http://www-db.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/team/rittinger
