From: Eric Brown Subject: problem during ./configure, it said to email you To: address@hidden Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2003 23:52:56 -0500 X-Sent: 4 hours, 17 minutes, 48 seconds ago Hi, I was trying to configure VOS from interreality.org, i did autoreconf --install, then ./configure, and i got the error you see down there at the bottom. I do have boost/bjam so i don't know why it's giving those errors.. good luck. -Eric address@hidden vos]$./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether make sets $(MAKE)...
