I downloaded automake-1.14 by following this tutorial on Ubuntu 16.04
./configure passed without any error. But the moment I ran make it gave an error.
I actually removed automake-1.15 from linux because when I was
installing protobuf 2.6.1 it says that i can't find automake-1.14. Therefore I remove automake by apt-get autoremove automake. And ran the following commands
$ wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.14.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf automake-1.14.tar.gz
$ cd automake-1.14
$ ./configure
$ make # FAIL HERE
$ sudo make install
The Error is the following:
anybody@anywhere:~/anyshare/automake-1.14$ make
