Description Frederic Bezies 2013-02-07 22:32:09 UTC
Hello.

Tried to build pan from git. And when configure is checking for automake version, I get :

checking for automake >= 1.9...
  testing automake-1.12... not found.
  testing automake-1.11... not found.
  testing automake-1.10... not found.
  testing automake-1.9... not found.
***Error***: You must have automake >= 1.9 installed
  to build Pan.  Download the appropriate package for
  from your distribution or get the source tarball at
    http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/automake/automake-1.9.tar.gz


Problem is that I have automake installed, but in version 1.13.1

automake --version

What about adding support to it in pan code ? Using an up-to-date archlinux.

this a known bug with automake, not pan.
