Installing ZSNES on Linux...help me please!

I found this in a faq for some random project:

I get an error about undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR. What's up?

The error message is misleading. The actual cause is that aclocal fails to pull in the definition for PKG_CHECK_MODULES. Make sure you have pkg-config installed.

found something else that says the AC_MSG_ERROR text should be enclosed in brackets: AC_MSG_ERROR([foo])

Try the following;

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install build-essential nasm autoconf automake libsdl1.2-dev zlib1g-dev libpng-dev subversion --reinstall

This will force all of the necessary packages to be reinstalled even if present, in case they're broken and your system doesn't realize it. Then give it another go and let us know the results.

You may also want to delete and then unpack the source again.
