aclocal is a pogram that generates aclocal.m4 macro files used by autoconf. I think it comes with automake and requires the perl and m4 packages to be installed. You should only need it if you want to create a new package that you plan to distribute or compile a package from a CVS source. In general, you probably want to compile from a released version rather that a CVS version, which may or may not work. Look at the info files for automake and autoconf for more information.

Hey,

I'm trying to make a SuSEified version of Aethera, but the src.rpm they have available for download dies with this:

Executing(%build): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.74514 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/packages/BUILD + cd aethera-0.9.1 + make -f Makefile.cvs This Makefile is only for the CVS repository This will be deleted before making the distribution

*** Concatenating configure tests into acinclude.m4 *** Creating list of subdirectories in subdirs *** Searching for subdirectories... *** Retrieving configure tests needed by configure.in make[1]: aclocal: Command not found make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 127 make: *** [all] Error 2 Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.74514 (%build)

Can anyone lend me some mindshare on this? I'm not really a programmer :-)
