Exact same error for 1.5.1 build
So, qemu not supported on anything but Ubuntu?

autoreconf is part of the autoconf package. Do you have that installed?

[Todd Ross (tross-r)]

As  far as I know,  autoreconf does not exist in the red hat/fedora/centos world.

Can't find a yum, rpm. or other distro for it on the above os.

Am I missing something obvious hrte?

Thanks....

You aren't looking very hard; on my RHEL 6.4 box (which has the same
packages as what you can install in CentOS), I see:

$ rpm -qf `which autoreconf`
autoconf-2.63-5.1.el6.noarch

Hi,

Thanks for the response.

You're right, it was the lack of autoconf. Actually, on CentOS/RH, you need
to check for

autoconf
automake (includes autoconf?)
libtools

Seems to be building happily now. Sorry for the newbie question.

/T.

You're right. Also installed automake which supplies an 'aclocal'
executable that's not in the autoconf distro, and libtool to fix a 'possibly
undefined macro AC_LIBTOOL' issue.

Seems to be happily compiling/linking now.

My apologies for the pseudo-bug report.

BTW, thank you for your assistance.
