autoreconf error

[wadudmiah]

Hi,

I have downloaded the source from Git, but when I type autoreconf -i, I get the following error message:

$ autoreconf -i

Can you please assist? I've Googled around and cannot find any answer.

Thanks in advance,

This is the wrong repository to post such an issue, should be sent at http://github.com/FreeFem/FreeFem-sources. I think your automake is too old, please update your system.
