I have read several posts, but have not resolved my problem.
During the bootstrap, I get the error;

Code:

configure.ac:33: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/local/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

I try with other versions of autoconf, but I always get the same error.;

• autoconf-2.65
  
• autoconf-2.66
  
• autoconf-2.68

I'm using a install of CentOS 5.4 x86 clean, with automake-1.11.1 gettext-0.18.1.1 and libtool-2.2.10 compiled packages, and all packages installed of this guide.
For xbmc, I'm using xbmc from svn (revision 34475)

I try in CentOS 5.5 i386 with same problem, this is the full log for bootstrap (rev 34490);

I see that no one can help me ..

I have many desire to use xbmc on my Aspire Revo, but I am not a user of Ubuntu/Debian and I not easy for me work on this distro of linux.
Has anyone install and run xbmc in CentOS 5?

[n3rvio]

I'm not so clumsy...
There must be a problem in the latest SVN version, because I used an older version of svn and it works fine

Code:

[root@pruebas xbmc]# svn update --revision 27348

Updated to revision 27348.

Should I open a new thread?

Hey n3rvio,

i ran into the sample problem after setting up a new Arch-Linux system.

In my case incorrect locale-settings seemed to be the problem, so i reconfigured my system to use the german locale and everything worked fine (bootstrapping, configuring, building).

Maybe this one will help you:
