Dear ALL,
I got the same problem... any news plz

I'm trying to upgrade my automake from 1.8.5_2 to 1.9.6 (in
order to install Subversion, which seems to require
this). During the build, I get a screenful of errors like

./automake19.texi:8788: Unknown command `tie'.
./automake19.texi:8788: Misplaced {.
./automake19.texi:8788: Misplaced }.
./automake19.texi:9090: Unknown command `tie'.

FYI, I think you are attacking the problem the wrong way:

1. Don't use the devel/automake19 port for development work with automake.

AFAIK, this port is not a full automake19 package, but a special port
of automake, which provides just barely enough automake support for
the Ports tree.

For local automake-based development, you should either use the
devel/gnu-automake port instead, or roll your own installation of
automake and friends, from a clean source tarball of automake-1.9.6

2. Why do you have to install automake19 for Subversion?

Does the devel/subversion port require it? I don't see a dependency
for automake in `ports/devel/subversion/Makefile'.
