[Dune] [#501] Dune build system crashed early on during configure on Redhat Linux Systems

[Benedikt Oswald]

Dear Christian, if I do as you suggest, then the following happens:




Checked out revision 5447.
[oswald at merlin00 dune-1.2]$ ./dune-common/bin/dunecontrol --opts=dune.psi.opts all
--- going to build dune-common dune-grid dune-istl dune-grid-howto hades  ---
--- calling all for dune-common ---
--- calling autogen for dune-common ---
Found am directory /home2/oswald/scratch2-svnwork-merlin/dune-1.2/dune-common/am
--> libtoolize...
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'.
libtoolize: linking file `./ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, `m4'.
libtoolize: linking file `m4/libtool.m4'
libtoolize: linking file `m4/ltoptions.m4'
libtoolize: linking file `m4/ltsugar.m4'
libtoolize: linking file `m4/ltversion.m4'
libtoolize: linking file `m4/lt~obsolete.m4'
libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.
--> writing dependencies.m4

Execution of dunecontrol terminated due to errors!


Greetings, Benedikt

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced,
the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign
lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead
of living on public assistance." (Cicero, ca. 55 BC).
