  • Please state what you *actually* want to do. – fkraiem Oct 16 '16 at 10:33
  • i want to install three packages 1= aclocal , 2= libtoolize , 3= pkgconfig.. i did all the stuff updating apt-get, installing automake but nothing works these packages are unable to locate from terminal for installing – Addi.Star Oct 16 '16 at 10:41
  • There is no aclocal *package*. aclocal is part of automake. It is already installed. – Martin Thornton Oct 16 '16 at 10:46
  • ok but when i hit sudo apt-get install aclocal , it says e: unable to lacate package . also with libtoolize and pkgconfig ? what about these 2 remaining? – Addi.Star Oct 16 '16 at 10:49
  • Those packages don't exist. – fkraiem Oct 16 '16 at 10:51
  • http://www.coders-hub.com/2015/04/start-working-on-linphone-android-part-1.html#.WANQ_BJ97Tf refer to this link , to build linphone android i need these packages , where libtoolize and pkgconfig required . and you say they dont exist ? – Addi.Star Oct 16 '16 at 10:58
  • I don't think the author of that article knows what they're talking about. `libtoolize` is really `libtool`, 'pkgconfig` is `pkg-config`, and `actools` has been in `automake` since 12.04. – TheWanderer Oct 18 '16 at 00:41

The tutorial is wrong. See this comment http://www.coders-hub.com/2015/04/start-working-on-linphone-android-part-1.html?showComment=1435013985299#c2524571387228883361.

I can't install aclocal or libtoolize or pkgconfig on ubuntu 14.04.. can you explain how to do that?

If you are using 32-bit pc than no need to install these packages.

I'd bet that's true if you are using 64 bit as well. Because they don't exist!

If you want to be sure though, instead try:

sudo apt-get install automake
sudo apt-get install libtool
sudo apt-get install pkg-config
