Problem with autogen syntax error near unexpected token 1.9.6 AM_PATH_CPPUNIT(1.9.6)

Used svn co to fetch latest version of rtorrent. Ran svn up in the trunk directory. Now to compile libtorrent...

Code:

user@deb:~/rtorrent-svn/trunk/libtorrent$ ./autogen.sh
aclocal...
/usr/share/aclocal/libmcrypt.m4:17: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_LIBMCRYPT

Similar with compiling rtorrent...

Code:

user@deb:~/rtorrent-svn/trunk/rtorrent$ ./autogen.sh
aclocal...

What is going on here?

Are you using Debian? I thought this was the current status for Debian:

Debian testing/unstable

I am not sure what that means. I am using Debian Lenny, which is the Stable release.

Right, I was speaking in the context of rtorrent. My understanding of the status of rtorrent for Debian, is that it is unstable.

uhcafigdc · 03-24-2010, 06:19 PM

Oh, I didn't think of that.

Hi,
hope this reply still relevant..

just install 'libcppunit-dev' and the warning of AM_PATH_CPPUNIT will disappear.
