[GRASS-user] compiling grass65svn - error on ubuntu 11.10

since very long time (mainly working on the windows-platform)
I'm trying again compiling grass65svn on linux, here on my box the
fresh ubuntu 11.10.

my configure line is:

myricaria@myricaria-hp-pavilion-ze4900-PJ920EA-ABD:/usr/local/src/grass/grass6_devel$
./configure

--with-cxx
--with-sqlite
--with-cairo
--with-freetype
--with-nls
--with-read-line
--with-gdal=/usr/bin/gdal-config
--with-python=/usr/bin/python2.7-config
--with-geos=/usr/bin/geos-config
--with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2/
--with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj

I'm getting following:

configure: error: can not run ./config.sub

following http://code.google.com/p/bioapi-linux/issues/detail?id=2
there seems to be some issues with automake and connected things.

I'm a little bit confused, because on ubuntu 11.10, there are available
automake and connected things with version 1.09, 1.10, 1.11 ...

any hints?

Helmut

Please post also the lines before that.

not sure if that posting is relevant here...

you need autoconf 2.13 (not 2.65) but both can be installed in parallel.

there are no lines before. should there be any?

I'm following:

http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install_Ubuntu
and
http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install#Ubuntu

...which one of above would be the recommended?

you need autoconf 2.13 (not 2.65) but both can be installed in parallel.

here are following autoconf-versions on the system

autoconfig 2.68-1ubuntu1 (oneiric)
autoconfig 2.13-60 (oneiric)

all the best
Helmut
