[parted-devel] ERROR during running ./bootstrap from checked out sources

[rohit hooda]

Hi All,

I have checked out a the parted sources and was trying to build them.
When I try to run ./bootstrap I get the following errors and I am not able to proceed.

./bootstrap: cp -f ._bootmp2/po/Rules-quot po/Rules-quot
./bootstrap: po/boldquot.sed overrides ._bootmp2/po/boldquot.sed
./bootstrap: po/en at boldquot.header overrides ._bootmp2/po/en at boldquot.header

Has anyone observed this earlier or can anyone point me to some thing which will help fix this?

Ok, I just tried it once more and re-directed the output to a file.
Attached is the file "bootstrap.out" with the console output of ./bootstrap.
Following are the errors which  it threw on STDERR :

cmp: gnulib-tests/gnulib.mk: No such file or directory
cmp: lib/gnulib.mk: No such file or directory

      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

I am using FC9 and my system is update with the latest updates. BTW, I was able to successfully compile it inside a FC11 Virtual Machine.


TIA,
Rohit
