thanx in advance

Have you installed automake version 1.6 or above?

I had this problem, but it was solved by installing automake 1.6 or above.

I have automake 1.8

Install automake 1.6. It will not conflict with 1.8.

Actually I installed all the versions available and it worked. I guess it's looking specifically for automake 1.6.

and where can I find the automake 1.6 ?

it is not available on the CD's of SuSe9.1

If you cannot find pre-packaged binaries for SuSE (try YaST) you could also download source tarball here and compile it:

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/

when i tried Yast i only found the 1.8

but it is really strange that a newer version can't make it work !!

No. It is more likely a configuration issue, but I haven't been able to work that out. Did you try that download sources which I pointed to?

I will try them and tell u

thx for the help

I downloaded these sources and made the following commands (i am not an expert in dealing with sources)

./configure
make
make install

but yet the same problem exist

I also downloaded KDevelop 3.2 but the same error exists

can someone tell me what to do ?? I have a project to deliver and I don't want to work on the Visual Studio again :(

this is the error I get

cd '/home/john/iiii' && gmake -f Makefile.cvs && cd '/home/john/iiii' && "/home/john/iiii/configure" && cd '/home/john/iiii/src' && gmake -k -j1 iiii.lo

I am really dissapointed as this is my first trial with KDevelop

I finally managed to make it work

I downloaded the libtool from http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/news.html and it worked thank GOD

thx alot for your help
