autoheader error

Hi All,

(oops, I put this post under admin by mistake the 1st time)

I'm completly new to KDE and therefore have what is most likely a very simple question. I create a new project using the application wizard selecting Terminal/C++ and when I click the "Create" button I get the following output in the top window:

Starting with installation
App [Posted] Type [cpp]
unpacking <template.tar.gz> in </home/kwm/posted>...
unpacking <admin.tar.gz> in </home/kwm/posted>...

>make -f Makefile.dist
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution
*** AUTOHEADER NOT FOUND!.
*** KDE requires autoheader 2.52 or 2.53 (part of autoconf)

>./configure

>sgml2html index.sgml
Processing file index.sgml

and the following output in the bottom window:


String found where operator expected at /usr/bin/autoheader-2.53 line 162, near "verbose "$me: running $autoconf to trace from $ARGV[0]""
(Do you need to predeclare verbose?)

(I omitted most of the bottom window errors because it was so long)

I searched the posts and found some autoconf suggestions, but no solutions to this particular problem regarding Autoheader. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

It seems the partition who stores your /tmp is full.
Try to issue "autoheader" without arguments in the command line. I got

taupter@argo:~/Projetos/Software/Ktorrent/ktorrent$ autoheader
autoheader: cannot create /tmp/ah2490.5011: No space left on device

So the script breaks.
Remove some uneeded stuff, close and reopen your X session, do whatever is needec to clean the partition just enough.
