# ./configure

json-c version: 0.12.99
my os: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64

thank you!

That's just the kernel version, not the actual OS version. Are you running CentOS or RHEL?

Also, what version of autoconf do you have? If "autoconf -V" doesn't say at least version 2.64 you'll need to update to a newer one.

[hawicz]

I updated configure.ac to specify the minimum version of autoconf needed. See commit a443b9f.

Note that if you need to build and run your own newer copy I've tested with autoconf-2.64, automake-1.10.3 and libtool-2.2.6b installed into an arbitrary location.

Thank you @hawicz ! I have use the lastest json-c git version and update autoconf to 2.69, before is autoconf-2.63. And the "./configure" is pass, and then successfully compile json-c lib .
my os is RHEL 6.5.

Hi,

My OS is Mint (linuxmint-18-cinnamon-32bit.iso), and I try the command 'autoconf -V':
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69

I process the steps below, and got the same error message:
git clone git://github.com/json-c/json-c.git /opt/git/json-c
cd /opt/git/json-c/
autoreconf -i
./configure --prefix=/usr

Could you please help on this?

@hau7626520 I just 'git clone' the lastest version of 'json-c' and install 'autoconf' with source code,
and then successfully compile json-c. But I don't know why is work. My system has two version of 'autoconf': 2.63, 2.69. '2.69' is installed in '/usr/local/bin/autoconf', '2.63' is installed in '/usr/bin/autoconf'.
My Path is:

In my case, despite having autoconf 2.69 installed, I also had to install the "autoconf-archive" package to get rid of this error.
