building Rserve

Question

I'm trying to build Rserve.

Steps so far:

$ git clone https://github.com/s-u/Rserve.git
$ cd Rserve
$ aclocal -I m4
$ autoconf
$ ./configure

fails with

[...]
checking for openssl/ssl.h... yes
checking for library containing SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations... -lssl
checking whether threads are desired... yes
checking for working threads support... configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in "." "./.." "./../.."

after symlinking my install-sh into the directory

$ ln -s /usr/share/automake-1.14/install-sh install-sh

./configure dies with

checking for working threads support... configure: error: cannot run /bin/bash ./config.sub

Answer 1

The developer of Rserve told me to

$ sh mkdist

*facepalm*
