Summary: 0004184: aclocal-1.9 uses automake-1.11 libraries
Description: aclocal and automake need to be synchronized, so using aclocal-$foo should use automake-$foo.

However aclocal-1.9 calls:

BEGIN
{
  my $perllibdir = $ENV{'perllibdir'} || '/opt/csw/share/automake-1.11';
  unshift @INC, (split ':', $perllibdir);
}

Attempts to use this aclocal fail due to this version mismatch.
Steps To Reproduce:
Additional Information: Post install of CSWautomake 1.11.1,REV=2009.12.09 I also did:

rm /opt/csw/bin/aclocal
ln -s /opt/csw/bin/aclocal-1.9 /opt/csw/bin/aclocal
rm /opt/csw/bin/automake
ln -s /opt/csw/bin/automake-1.9 /opt/csw/bin/automake

as the software I'm building requires the tools be called aclocal and automake and also requires the 1.9 versions.

The old CSWautomake-1.10.1,REV=2008.02.07 package I used from Blastwave didn't have this problem.

Strange, I also built 1.10.1,REV=2008.02.07 from Blastwave at that time I did it similar to the package you are using:
  <http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/automake/trunk/Makefile> [^]
Anyway, I just inspected the package and it is wrong in there although the intermediate steps from the build seem to work fine. I need a deeper look into this,

The problem was that in merging the versions together there were hardlinks between the general and the versioned binaries used that were overwritten in a specific way.

It should be fixed in the package from testing/
  automake-1.11.1,REV=2010.01.25-SunOS5.8-all-CSW.pkg.gz
available from
  http://mirror.opencsw.org/testing.html [^]

Please let me know if this really fixes your problem.

Yes, that works. A good sanity check is to do "aclocal-1.9 --version" and check the output includes the expected version.

Thanks!

The "wrong version error" is fixed in 1.11.1,REV=2010.01.25 and released to current/.

I'll leave the bug open as I would like to have a mechanism for keeping modified links from automake/aclocal to other version than the latest during upgrades. On maintainers@ is the use of "alternatives" under discussion.

Updated automake with alternatives-support in experimental:

Version 1.11.1,REV=2010.02.19 has been released to current with alternatives support to peristently select a version for "automake" and "aclocal" even during package upgrades. Versions are selectable with
  /opt/csw/sbin/alternatives --config automake
Please verify.
