GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 55346
./configure fails due to config.guess
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
The config.guess script returns 'elf_i386' which is not understood by ./configure. I copied the latest GNU's config.guess from the binutils (2.11) source and that worked fine. I've recently updated by GNU binutils, gcc, glibc, and fileutils. Probably one of those caused the incompatibility.
I package libxml on a modified Red Hat 6.2 system. The autoconf and automake packages were probably a bit old. I upgraded them from the Red Hat 7.1 version, removed the config.guess and config.sub and regenerated them. I hope this will fix the problem. Check with the next version when released (probably later this week). Daniel
could you check the version 2.3.11 closes the bug ? Daniel
Okay I hope this is closed now, Daniel
