When performing 'emerge ntp' on a fresh system, the emerge failed with an error
stating that my system needed automake >= v1.7 installed in order to complete.
After
doing 'emerge automake', the 'emerge ntp' succeeded.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Actually, after installing automake v1.7.5 (emerge automake), and trying
to re-emerge ntp, I received the following error message:
configure.in:8: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.7.5,
configure.in:8: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.in:8: comes from Automake 1.7.6. You should recreate
configure.in:8: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.
WARNING: `automake-1.7' 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-1.7' program.
