Description patl 1998-08-01 08:30:01 UTC 
Using the automake 1.3 port from the current ports tree:

The aclocal emits bogus and unintelligable error message and produces
output that later causes an error in configure.  Example below.  (Note
that the AC_TRY_RUN warnings are apparently genuine, and will remain
after the problem is fixed.)

aclocal: macro ` at /usr/local/bin/aclocal line 315, <CONFIGURE> line
39aclocal: macro ` at /usr/local/bin/aclocal line 315, <CONFIGURE> line
39aclocal: macro ` at /usr/local/bin/aclocal line 315, <CONFIGURE> line
39configure.in:118: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling
configure.in:119: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling
configure.in:120: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling
configure.in:121: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling
configure.in:122: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling
creating cache ./config.cache
./configure: 561: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

Now type 'make' to compile GLIB.

Fix: 

Modify aclocal, automake, and autoscan to specify /usr/local/bin/perl
instead of /usr/bin/perl.  Modify the package to depend on perl5.
How-To-Repeat: Retrieve any of the Gnome CVS modules (e.g., glib).  Run the included
autogen.sh script.
