Error when running ./autogen.sh on Linux when building log4cxx-0.9.7

["Labour, Matthieu (MLPRO SF)" <ma...@ml.com>]

Hi I am getting the following error when running ./autogen.sh on linux
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 4)
I see that some people had the same error but  I don't really understand
how to solve it. Thank you for your help

I am using:
GNU m4 1.4.1
Aclocal 1.9.5
Autoversion 2.59
autoconf 2.59
Automake 1.9.5

bash-2.05b$ ./autogen.sh
aclocal:configure.in:32: warning: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in

Do you have libtool installed?
Anyway, I would like to propose that you use the package from
http://littletux.homelinux.org/debian/log4cxx/log4cxx_0.9.7.orig.tar.gz
which is identical to the apache log4cxx_0.9.7.tar.gz but already has
the configure script, so that you do not need to run autogen.sh
anymore. Simply use

./configure ; make

as usual.

Best Regards,

	Andreas
