Make problem on OSX 10.4.5

Hi

I searched the forums and couldn’t find a thread about this topic so I apologize in advance if it’s redundant.

I am trying to install root 5.10 from source on Tiger 10.4.5 with the following configure options:

./configure macosx --prefix=/usr/local --enable-soversion

when issuing the make command, it starts to work for a while and then when building libpcre.a it does some checking for the correct ltmain.sh version it says no, and I get an error. Here is the output from the last couple of lines.

*** Gentoo sanity check failed! ***
*** libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh have a version mismatch! ***
*** (libtool.m4 = 1.5.18, ltmain.sh = VERSION=1.5.18) ***

Please run:

libtoolize --copy --force

if appropriate, please contact the maintainer of this
package (or your distribution) for help.

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `libpcre.la’. Stop.
make: *** [pcre/src/pcre-6.4/.libs/libpcre.a] Error 2

Now I don’t think I have libtoolize on my machine (PPC G4 1.67GHz) and I am not even sure of what this does right now so I don’t want to try it or something similar out. Has anyone experienced this problem or know of the solution to this. Thanks in advance.

Hi

I’ve had problems with the libtool supplied with Mac OS X with other packages so I’ve installed my own copy locally.

HTH
