[SOLVED] Autotools - Segmentation fault

Hi guys,
I've installed GNU autoconf and utilities related with it from official repository not AUR, actual version is 2.69. Only autoconf itself seems working, but others(autoscan, autoheader and autoupdate) get me "Segmentation fault", so autoreconf, without any reason.
Anybody has similar problem or something is wrong on my side?

Thanks.

$ perl -wle '$_ = 1; (1 x $_) !~ /^(11+)\1+$/ && print while $_++'

[Solved]
After installing Perl4::CoreLibs via cpan, it started working.

Re: [SOLVED] Autotools - Segmentation fault

In such situations I find "strace" tool extremely useful. I highly recommend to learn it. It will pay you back many times.

Let me guess what happened. You had some AUR/CPAN perl modules compiled for previous version of Perl. After the recent perl upgrade these modules started crashing (because of changed module interface). By installing the module from CPAN you basically recompiled and made it compatible to Perl.

UPD and the right solution would be remove CPAN modules completely and use standard perl-perl4-corelibs.

Re: [SOLVED] Autotools - Segmentation fault

@anatolik - Of course I know 'strace' , but maybe not as much, because it didn't helped me. Yeah, it was caused by my mess in perl modules and I didn't know autoconf uses perl(except automake).  Thanks anyway.
