Hi, I'm setting up a new Tiger 10.4.11 machine, and I'd like to run tripwire (as I used to do on my old Tiger machine). I installed the latest Macports a few days ago, and tried installing tripwire with the usual 'sudo port install tripwire' command. All the dependencies download and build just fine, but when it tries to build the actual tripwire source I get this: <snip> ---> Building tripwire with target all Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_security_tripwire/work/tripwire-2.4.1.2-src" && make all " returned error 2 Command output: cd . && /bin/sh /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_security_tripwire/work/tripwire-2.4.1.2-src/missing --run automake-1.10 --foreign configure.in:8: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.10.1, configure.in:8: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.in:8: comes from Automake 1.10. You should recreate configure.in:8: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again. WARNING: `automake-1.10' is needed, and you do not seem to have it handy on your system. You might have modified some files without having the proper tools for further handling them. Check the `README' file, it often tells you about the needed prerequirements for installing this package. You may also peek at any GNU archive site, in case some other package would contain this missing `automake-1.10' program. make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1
From googling a bit appears that normally aclocal and automake are kept in sync, and the aclocal.m4 file generated by aclocal has its version number embedded in it. Automake is reading this file, and finds that that the aclocal version doesn't match its (automake's) version, and thus the barf. It appears that the choices are to downgrade to automake 1.10, or run a 1.10.1 version of aclocal to generate an aclocal.m4 file that automake will accept; the output above seems to suggest two different actions. I favor the latter option of generating a new aclocal with the higher version aclocal utility. Does anyone have any hints on how to reach into the process to do the latter (generate with aclocal version 1.10.1)? I guess I could re-run the install again with verbose turned on to see where it generates aclocal.m4, and then try mucking with some script to redirect it to an as-yet-unfound version of aclocal 1.10.1 somewhere in the directory under /opt... any shortcuts to solution appreciated!
Thanks in advance, Kurt
