Re: Autopackage Error

Tell a bit more:

What you are trying to compile ?
Where did you get the source ?
Are there README/INSTALL files ?
What are the build-depencies ?
Is there "config.log" /1/ What it is telling ?
How are you compiling ? ( ./configure, make , make install, or what)
Do you have the package build-essential /2/ ?

/1/ configure (snap from an INSTALL file)

The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
`config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up
reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output
(useful mainly for debugging `configure')...

/2/ build-essential

...If you have this package installed, you only need to install whatever
a package specifies as its build-time dependencies to build the
package...

Re: Autopackage Error

I have not used the > Autopackage. Maybe the google finds answers if you search with the error messages.

There seems to be an unofficial support forum for both packagers and users >
autopackage.org - The Autopackage Forums
