aclocal failure

[Alessandro-Barbieri]

I can't get past the bootstrap because aclocal fail with

***** aclocal *****
***** PWD: /var/tmp/portage/sys-cluster/launchmon-1.0.2_p20210430/work/LaunchMON-98ab769c53563f47c4319ce3c98ac394b4870bac
***** aclocal -I config

How are we supposed to bootstrap from tarballs?

You could try the latest release tarball from https://github.com/LLNL/LaunchMON/releases. With the release tarballs, you do not need to run boostrap, but rather can start by invoking configure. Alternatively, you could try building LaunchMON's develop branch using Spack. This would be as simple as:

git clone https://github.com/spack/spack.git
cd spack
./bin/spack install launchmon@develop

./bootstrap probably was failed at the above line. Try commenting out m4_esyscmdin the m4 before bootstrap.

I did this https://github.com/gentoo/guru/blob/d221b6b83fcdc224935956ce125c09e85ec62fb9/sys-cluster/launchmon/launchmon-1.0.2_p20210430-r1.ebuild#L33
