configue syntax error

Hi Huiqun Zhou,

I've run into this error before, the issue was that cppunit wasn't being installed correctly. In my case just doing a simple "yum install" wasn't installing the development libraries which are needed for ESyS-Particle. I ended up downloading cppunit and making/installing from scratch, i'm not sure if you did that originally? I think another way would be to use the package manager to make sure the development libraries for cppunit are installed.

Hope that helps.

Will, thank you for your quick response.

In fact, I compiled cppunit and boost from scratch. I did the compilation
from very begining again yesterday, and found the problem came from
autogen:

[chef@geohpclab ESyS-Particle-2.0.1b]$ sh autogen.sh
aclocal:configure.ac:23: warning: macro `AM_PATH_CPPUNIT' not found in
library

Any ideas?

Huiqun

Hi Huiqun,

I think your problem might be the same as I experienced on our cluster. The issue is that aclocal cannot find the cppunit macro file during the autogen.sh step. To fix this I had to find the directory containing the "cppunit.m4" file then edit autogen.sh to tell aclocal where to find the file.

In my case, "cppunit.m4" was located in "/sw/apps/cppunit/x86_64/gcc-4.1.2/cppunit-1.12.1/share/aclocal" so I editted autogen.sh and replaced the following line:

aclocal -I Config

with the following:
aclocal -I Config -I /sw/apps/cppunit/x86_64/gcc-4.1.2/cppunit-1.12.1/share/aclocal

Once you've edited autogen.sh, rerun that script then continue to ./configure.

I hope this helps (and thanks to Will for helping with this problem).

Cheers,

Dion.

This indeed helped a lot. Dion, thank you!
