I am running automake 1.8.5 on one slackware linux machine and 1.9 on another and I can confirm this bug as well.

We just ran into the same issue. We never needed automake to build the source tarball before (since 4.1 alpha). We tried building on AIX, Solaris x86, Solaris sparc, HP-UX, Linux, etc and in all cases, its complaining about automake. In one case, we had a higher version of automake 1.9.something and it too complained about the version of automake. I hope this gets fixed in the next couple days.

touch cmd-line-utils/libedit/Makefile.in as a workaround

Another fix that might be worth a try: add "--with-readline" to the configure options to use readline instead of libedit for building.

This only affects the source tarball - I will fix this libedit issue and then release it as 4.1.4a when it's done. Sorry for the inconvenience!

The source tarball has now been fixed to no longer show this automake error message and a few required fixes to make libedit compile have been applied on top of it as well. (see bug#5353 for more details on this) It has been uploaded as mysql-4.1.4a-gamma.tar.gz to our staging server and will be available from the mirror sites soon. The Download pages will be updated as soon as the package has been propagated to most mirrors.
Description: When trying to build MySQL 4.1.4 Gamma on my Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3, it will not compile with any other version of automake unless it is 1.7.6. I upgraded to 1.9.1 and it failed. I upgraded to 1.7.9 and it failed. So it looks like the only version of automake that will compile the source for 4.1.4 is automake 1.7.6. Here is what the make actually shows: Making all in libedit make[3]: Entering directory `/data/BUILD/mysql-4.1.4-gamma/cmd-line-utils/libedit' cd ../.. && \ /bin/sh /data/BUILD/mysql/missing --run automake-1.7 --gnu cmd-line-utils/libedit/Makefile configure.in:7: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.7.9, configure.in:7: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.in:7: comes from Automake 1.7.6.

You might have modified some files without having the proper tools for further handling them. Check the `README' file, it often tells you about the needed prerequirements for installing this package. You may also peek at any GNU archive site, in case some other package would contain this missing `automake-1.7' program. make[3]: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/data/BUILD/mysql-4.1.4-gamma/cmd-line-utils/libedit' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/data/BUILD/mysql-4.1.4-gamma/cmd-line-utils' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/BUILD/mysql-4.1.4-gamma' make: *** [all] Error 2 and for 1.9.1 Making all in libedit make[3]: Entering directory `/data/BUILD/mysql-4.1.4-gamma/cmd-line-utils/libedit' cd ../.. && \ /bin/sh /data/BUILD/mysql/missing --run automake-1.7 --gnu cmd-line-utils/libedit/Makefile configure.in:7: version mismatch.
