Autoconf已安装但无法工作(ubuntu)

Question

我正在尝试安装GNU automake。运行./configure时，我在终端中收到以下错误消息：

    checking whether autoconf is installed... yes
    checking whether autoconf works... no
    configure: error: The installed version of autoconf does not work.
    Please check config.log for error messages before this one

看着config.log，我不知道问题出在哪里。我猜它是tex的，但我不确定它指的是什么程序。我安装了TexStudio，但没有解决这个问题。日志文件粘贴在下面：

    configure:2784: checking for tex
    configure:2814: result: no
    configure:2822:  --version </dev/null
    ./configure: line 2823: --version: command not found
    configure:2825: $? = 127
    configure:2843: checking for yacc

    configure:2913: result: flex
    configure:2934: checking whether autoconf is installed
    configure:2939: autoconf --version
    Autoconf version 2.10
    configure:2942: $? = 0

   configure:2967: $? = 1
   configure:2976: result: no
   configure:2979: error: The installed version of autoconf does not work.
          Please check config.log for error messages before this one.

Answer 1

正如Diego所说，如果您从存储库安装autoconf，它将安装2.68版。由于某些原因，您可能安装了2.13版。

如果是这样，请删除旧版本并安装默认版本：

sudo apt-get remove autoconf2.13 && sudo apt-get install autoconf

Answer 2

Autoconf 2.1非常旧，其语义与当前版本(2.69，称为"2.5系列“)有很大的不同。

Ubuntu似乎有Autoconf2.1和2.6x的separate packages，但我不确定他们是如何选择这两个版本的。
