Talked with Jerub in #netrek and we seemed to agree on the problem being "sh autogen.sh" incorrectly building ./configure. I did "darcs revert -a" as Jerub suggested and ran build script again but got same error, http://pastebin.com/742765, in autogen.sh: # # build configure # sh autogen.sh # You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'. # autogen.sh completed ok and the same error in ./configure: # checking for mp.h... ./configure: line 6781: syntax error near unexpected token `}' # ./configure: line 6781: `echo "${ECHO_T}no" >&6; }' So next I did "darcs unpull" and removed all 86 patches then ran build again, this time there is no autogen.sh warning about aclocal but it still gives same ./configure error: checking for mp.h... ./configure: line 6578: syntax error near unexpected token `}' ./configure: line 6578: `echo "${ECHO_T}no" >&6; }' Here is the full log from last build run: http://pastebin.com/742848 Zach
