Philip,

I am already running latest automake/gettext. What else could be the reason?

Installing the following gets me through to it asking for ekigas own ptlib.

libglib2.0-dev
gnome-common
libsigc++-2.0-dev
libxml2-dev
libgnomeui-dev
libgtk2.0-dev
libebook1.2-dev
libldap2-dev
libsasl2-dev
libxv-dev
libdbus-glib-1-dev
libgnome2-dev

Note: The above list will pull in a lot of dependencies for install.

Philip,

I did that already. Please see the check. Do we have to install what is
required for ekiga and not the latest releases? If so, please let me know
how to re-link to the old automake and gettex.

thanks...

Shiva

You are OK now as you have the packages required that are equal or greater than the version required and should be able to move forward fine now.

First thing to check would be that you also have the following installed also.

autoconf

and

autotools-dev

I get the same errors from gnome-doc-utils.make when trying to prepare a package. Any hints on this?

I know this thread is a couple years old, but I'm getting the same error while trying to compile gnome-sound-recorder. At least part of the warning/message is wrong. When I went hunting for isc-posix.m4, I found the contents of it at this URL:

And inside was this line:
# isc-posix.m4 serial 2 (gettext-0.11.2)
dnl Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
dnl This file is free software; the Free Software Foundation
dnl gives unlimited permission to copy and/or distribute it,
dnl with or without modifications, as long as this notice is preserved.

# This file is not needed with autoconf-2.53 and newer. Remove it in 2005.

Not needed for 2.53 and newer.

So, it may be that none of these files are needed to compile these various automake driven projects. As Phillip is subtly suggesting on this thread, I would ignore it entirely.

Interestingly, after placing these files in my autoconf macro directory (which I'm assuming is the m4 folder within my project), the error is exactly the same! So you may never get rid of the error/warning/message/whatever it is. :)

Can you help with this problem?
