OK, I have pushed back the problem a little bit, and I have found a work
around. However, since the fix is far from elegant, I hope someone with
connections to Apple and/or Gnu could submit the problem for a more
permanent fix.
After running "configure" in automake-1.5 (and receiving several sed
error messages), I edited the config.status file. In config.status are
a number of line pairs of the form:
s%@install_sh@%~/Packages/automake-1.5/lib
/Users/heberlei/Packages/automake-1.5/lib/install-sh%g
When I join each pair into a single line, I can then run config.status
and everything works OK. Here is a general outline of the steps:
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/automake
% vi config.status [join the line pairs]
% ./config.status
% make
% sudo make install
I just did a check on Red Hat 7.1 on Intel, and "configure" ran fine on
that system. I also checked the config.status files for the lines in
questions, and they all appear to be single lines (as opposed to the two
line MacOS X was generating).
I am not sure where the problem lines are being generated, and I am no
autoconf or sed expert so I doubt I can trace the error back further.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Todd
