           Summary: Unable to "autoconf & automake", ¿autoconf version
                    conflicts?
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: 2.1.5
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: asuarez at icosis.es


Version:           2.1.5 (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMsSuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-144-default

I have a KDevelop C++ project that used to build fine on KDevelop 2.1 (running on KDE 3.0.5 shipped with SuSE 8.0). I've moved the project to a box running SuSE 9.0 and found that the project can't be built, "Autoconf & automake" stops at this point:

*** Creating configure 
configure.in:102: error: m4_popdef: undefined macro: AC_Dest 
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/autoconf-2.57/lib/autoconf/status.m4:844: AC_CONFIG_FILES is expanded from... 
configure.in:102: the top level 
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 

(Don't know if it's relevant, but there is nothing under /usr/src/packages/BUILD/ at this box. Anyway, softlinking the path above to /usr/share/autoconf/autoconf/ seems useless, same error.)

I've tried some workarounds for these issue, as found around the Internet, with no results. One of them consists in downgrading to autoconf 2.52 or 2.53, but then running "Autoconf & automake" stops at:

*** Creating configure 
./aclocal.m4:10181: error: Autoconf version 2.54 or higher is required for this script 
./aclocal.m4:10181: the top level 

I've also tried 2.54, and them the build fails in the same way that 2.57.

Except for that: nice product. Thank you, guys.
