1) sudo aclocal
2) sudo ./bootstrap
3) sudo ./configure --enable-contrib
The real question is why weren't you doing this from start? Maybe I am paranoid but I have always been suspicious that autotool created build files will work after an update. So I have figured you need to regenerate the build system after each update.
When I have tried to build a .deb package of rev2526 (with the changes suggested by daniel2000), I got an error. I have remarked that sometime re-doing a ./configure solved the problem. Anyway, not in this case. So, I have re-done a ./bootstrap to regenerate all. But during the bootstrap, I was told to do an aclocal.
Anyway, I am still learning Linux
.
I don't think the aclocal is needed I would do:
make distclean
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-contrib
make
sudo make install # sudo only need if install system wide
I was told to run aclocal (I never run it before).
By the way, why do you have to be root to bootstrap and configure? Is that do to the package building environment?
No, probaly just a mistake from my part
.
