RE: pspp and psppire compile experience: Fedora Core 4 and Mac OS X

I now get this from configure after doing John's suggested steps:

checking for BSD-compatible nm... /usr/bin/nm -p checking whether ln -s
works... yes
./ltconfig: ./ltconfig: No such file or directory
configure: error: libtool configure failed

I'm running libtool 1.5.22 and autoconf 2.59--I thought that ltconfig is no
longer used in these newer versions--it was migrated into the
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL macro.

     Doing a "which aclocal" says /sw/bin/aclocal.  Doing a aclocal
     --print-ac-dir shows /sw/share/aclocal.  Checking out /sw/share/aclocal
has
     the pkg.m4 module there.
     
     I've got automake, pkg-config, autoconf, and aclocal all in /sw/bin.
I've
     been trying out different permutations of where the pkg.m4 module might
want
     to live with no luck.  I'm still getting the same error when running
     configure.
     
     I'm sure this is something simple--but I'm pretty stumped at the
moment.  It
     could be some sort of interaction with the Xcode 2.2 tools placement,
but I
     don't think so.
     
     Suggestions?

Hmm.  Does the pkg.m4 file have a line like
AC_DEFUN([PKG_CHECK_MODULES] ... ??

Try: 

make -f Smake clean
libtoolize --automake
aclocal


... then check the resulting aclocal.m4 file.  You should see the 
AC_DEFUN([PKG_CHECK_MODULES]  macro has been copied into this file.
Then do:

autoconf

... which generates the configure file.   If there's any lines with
PKG_CHECK_MODULES then something's wrong.


You can pass a --verbose flag to aclocal and autoconf which might give
you a hint as to what's going wrong.
