When running autotools on lvm2-2.02.150 I get the following error:

Attached is a full build.log and the error can also be observed on our CI:

System is a 64bit Exherbo installation, lvm2-2.02.137
configures/compiles und runs without any problems.

Hi

Well sorry for now -  the current state of upstream  configure.in file
does require newer version of autotools & autoconf & and few
other devel files installed.

So do not run autoconf and use already generated one - available
in both - git repo &  released tar ball.

Once there will be enough time we may possibly fix it and make
it more backward compatible. Until that - use exiting generated
configure script.

Regards

Zdenek

If you have a genuine need to run autoconf, then you need this (or a package
that includes it):
