542	Expect do not complete ./configure	kondicoder@…	lfs-book@…	"Expect says it cannot complete ./configure, saying that:

configuring Expect 5.38.0
checking for autoconf... no
checking configure up to date... no
configure: warning: ./configure appears to be old (./configure.in and/or
./Makefile.in are newer) and the autoconf program to fix this situation
was not found.  If you've no idea what this means, enter the command ""touch
./configure"" and restart ./configure.

If you do as suggested, it will configure correctly and compile & install though.

So insted of:

./configure --prefix=/stage1 --with-tcl=/stage1/lib --with-x=no

do:

./configure --prefix=/stage1 --with-tcl=/stage1/lib --with-x=no
touch ./configure
./configure --prefix=/stage1 --with-tcl=/stage1/lib --with-x=no

Note that touch ./configure will have no effect if the configure script haven't
been run once first."	defect	closed	low		Book	CVS	minor	worksforme
