Re: Cray X1 port

[Gary Kedziora]

Hi,

Thanks for the help.  I'm not sure which config.guess I was using the
other day, but now I had to look for one. I found one in the X1 system
autoconf/share directories that printed out 'craynv-cray-unicosmp2.5.X'. 
 That is what the available system autoconf says as well.

The first make did not work.  It had several errors compiling ltdl.c.

I generated a new configure script with autoconf and then tried the 
configure and make.  Make says that aclocal-1.9 and automake-1.9 are not
available.  It seems that the system installed tools are out of date. 
It then attempts to reconfigure and stops again at compiling ltdl.c.

I find no occurence of cray or unicos in any of the m4 scripts.  I'm 
using libtool-1.5.10.  Do you think this is a system set-up problem or 
does libtool no longer support Cray?  I'm new to tinkering with 
autoconf, automake, and libtool....

Cheers,
Gary
