[Mono-list] compiling libgdiplus

Wed Feb 8 12:28:18 EST 2006

Greg,

the autogen.sh for libgdiplus usually descends into the cairo directory and 
does all things neccessary to get a buildable cairo. I would assume that the 
same error you got when going the and manually running cairo's autogen.sh 
you also got when doing it for libgdiplus as a whole, and that you just 
missed the error message on screen.

Now, having said that, you need to update the automake on your system. First 
place to look is on Redhat's site, they do provide updates to their 
packages. Or google for rhel automake and look for the 1.7 or higher 
version. You could try and use yum, or install redcarpet and look for 
automake with it.

Cheers,
 Peter
