Cacti Spine Source Installation Error on FreeBSD

Written by · in Systems

Just noticed FreeBSD’s port still using old version of spine, decided to install from source and seem like source install doesn’t work well with FreeBSD. It returns error due to libtool version different from the source file. First when run –configure command it returns config error;


./configure
configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh config/config.sub

List the file on config folder and found it’s symlink to invalid file;


ls -al config/*

config.guess, config.sub and ltmain.sh is symlink to the wrong directory, remove the files and symlink to correct path


shell> cd config
shell> rm -rf config.guess
shell> rm -rf config.sub
shell> ltmain.sh
shell> ln -s /usr/local/share/libtool/config/config.sub . 
shell> ln -s /usr/local/share/libtool/config/config.guess . 
shell> ln -s /usr/local/share/libtool/config/ltmain.sh .

Seem like everything is fine, let run ./configure and I have another problema and I do make command


shell> make 
CDPATH: not found
func_opt_split: not found
libtool: Version mismatch error.  This is libtool 2.2.6, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from an older release.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.6
libtool: and run autoconf again.
*** Error code 63

Stop in /root/paul-work/cacti-spine-0.8.7e.

To fix aclocal problem


aclocal
libtoolize --force
autoconf
autoheader
automake
./configure

Run configure and make again. Should be no problem by now.
