Unable to compile Spine

[apperrault]

Hi all,
I have downloaded the latest Spine from the SVN, and I am having problems compiling it. Here is what i am doing.

Code: Select all

cd /usr/src/spine
sh ./configure

once i run that command, i get the following message:

Code: Select all

configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh config/config.sub

what am i missing here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

app

[skol]

chmod +x configure

then make sure you have libtool installed

[apperrault]

same error. I have libtool installed, and i ran the chmod command, but it is still saying error: cannot run /bin/sh config/config.sub

any other thoughts?

Should look like that if you have the proper RPM (if on rehdat) of libtool installed.

i don't see any of what look like links that you have.

app

[skol]

Code: Select all

rpm -qf /usr/share/libtool/config.sub

do that. If that doesn't work, or says "owned by no package" or says file does not exist, install libtool.

[apperrault]

Code: Select all

[root@vm-rh-cacti spine]# rpm -qf /usr/share/libtool/config.sub
libtool-1.5.6-4.EL4.2

is what i get from that command

not sure, I had your exact problem and what I've mentioned completely solved it for me.

How about blowing away your cacti-spine checkout/tarball and trying again.

[apperrault]

i can try that. I am a newbie to the linux world. how would i check this out from the SVN from the linux command line? i have been doing it on my windows box, and then scp'ing it to my linux box from there

Anyone have any other thoughts? The Witness, you out there, do you have any ideas why i cannot compile SPINE?

thanks much

You could try getting the subversion spine. I believe this will force you to make the configure & automake items local to your box. Not tested, just an idea.
