glib2 build can't find automake 1.13 when automake 1.14 is installed - centos

I'm attempting to build glib-2.36.4 on CentOS5. I realize it would be wiser to upgrade to 6 but this isn't possible because of a customer requirement.
I've started a make build and I get the below error. The error complains that automake-1.13 doesn't exist on the system. However, I built automake 1.14 and installed it. An automake --version outputs the correct version.
I've done a yum list installed | grep automake to insure automake doesn't have conflicting installations.
I've tried googling the issue but I can't come up with anything.

From the top level directory run the command
automake
Basically, your makefiles were built using Automake 1.13 and now you've got 1.14 they're getting confused, so running automake will recreate all the Makefiles using your new version.

In my side, it will show some warning after run automake, and I run the command to resolved this issue:
autoreconf -ivf

I ran in a similar problem when trying to compile gnome-mplayer-1.0.9.2 on Ubuntu 14.01.1.
I managed to resolve it by running the following commands in the source folder:
aclocal
automake
./configure
make

Tex Live Installation

I want to generate a pdf file from a Rmd script (r markdown), so I installed Pandoc, in the installation guide, it said: For PDF output, you’ll need LaTeX. We recommend installing TeX Live. So I downloaded Tex Live from their website.
(I must install it in a specific directory so that I can load it with a environment modules system)
Then i did this:
$: tar xf texlive-20190408-source.tar.xz
$: cd texlive-20190408-source
$: sudo ./configure --prefix=$path --enable-build-in-source-tree
$: make
configure: error: Sorry, you will need at least the Xaw header/library files to compile xdvik.
=== configuring in xdvik failed

Build Coq and CoqIDE from source

Following this post I managed to install LablGtk (I think) but still when I try to configure-make Coq I get the following message that CoqIDE will not be built:
$ ./configure
You have OCaml 4.09.0+dev0-2019-01-18. Good!
You have OCamlfind 1.7.1. Good!
You have native-code compilation. Good!
You have the Num library installed. Good!
Warning: Incomplete LablGtk2 (via ocamlfind): no /usr/local/lib/ocaml/4.04.0/lablgtk2/gSourceView2.cmi.
Warning: Incomplete LablGtk2 (in OCaml library): no /usr/lib/ocaml/lablgtk2/gSourceView2.cmi.
LablGtk2 not found:
=> no CoqIde will be built.
Where should I install the Coq binaries [/usr/local/bin]?
How can I make sure LablGtk is installed? or if something else is missing?
EDIT:
I ran sudo make install again from the extracted LablGtk folder and I now see it failed because it already has this library, but it is somehow associated with an old ocaml version (???):
$ sudo make install
ocamlfind: Package lablgtk2 is already installed
- (file /usr/local/lib/ocaml/4.04.0/lablgtk2/META already exists)

HHVM Assistance

I have a problem installing HHVM on windows using Cygwin64 Terminal
I'm using this guide https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/wiki/Building-and-Installing-HHVM-on-Cygwin
It's an official guide, as you can see, I've reached Building libmemcached step, after executing the command ./configure --prefix=/usr && make -j 4 && make install it does many commands but It reaches this error:
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/Mr.gSub/hhvm/libmemcached-1.0.18'
make[2]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode.
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/Mr.gSub/hhvm/libmemcached-1.0.18'
make -j2 man
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/Mr.gSub/hhvm/libmemcached-1.0.18'
make[2]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode.
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/Mr.gSub/hhvm/libmemcached-1.0.18'
make -j2 man
And it keeps going that way until I terminate, I will include all log in pastebin: http://pastebin.com/MFwXJx6S
I'm using Windows 8.1 x64, my shoe size is 41.. yeah I don't think you need that much of info :P haha, have a good day!
HHVM does not currently build on Windows. Your best option is to run an Ubuntu VM and have HHVM running inside that.

Installing node.js with Mongodb and Mongoose

I have node.js and npm install under my /opt directory in Linux RHEL.
I've used npm to install several different modules, namely mongodb and mongoose. However, when it tries to make the distro (or I try it), it fails as follows:
make -C ./external-libs/bson all
make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/node_modules/mongodb/external-libs/bson'
rm -rf build .lock-wscript bson.node
node-waf configure build
make[1]: execvp: nodewaf: Not a directory
make[1]: *** [all] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/node_modules/mongodb/external-libs/bson'
make: *** [build_native] Error 2
I presume this is happening because it can't find node-waf which is under /opt/node/tools. I'm just wondering if I botched the install that it's not picking it up or what's the best way to address this without mucking with the Makefile?
Thanks...

"make" in a Fortran library results in "Command not found" error

I have Ubuntu 10.04 and gcc version 4.4.3
I have been trying to install this library called SUPER_LU and there are some codes in it are written in Fortran. Typing "make" at the top level directory gives me the following errors
gaurish108#gaurish108-laptop:~/Desktop/Research Meetings/PETSC and SUper LU/SuperLU_4.0$ make
( cd INSTALL; make )
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/gaurish108/Desktop/Research Meetings/PETSC and SUper LU/SuperLU_4.0/INSTALL'
g77 -o testdlamch dlamch.o lsame.o dlamchtst.o
***make[1]: g77: Command not found***

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gaurish108/Desktop/Research Meetings/PETSC and SUper LU/SuperLU_4.0/INSTALL'
make: *** [install] Error 2
This has happened with me in the past also when i tried to download some math libraries? always thought g77 cam bundles up with gcc. When I tried to install g77 separately with sudo apt-get install g77, this is what I got
gaurish108#gaurish108-laptop:~/Desktop/Research Meetings/PETSC and SUper LU/SuperLU_4.0$ sudo apt-get install g77[sudo] password for gaurish108:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package g77 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package g77 has no installation candidate
What should I do?
As of gcc 4.0, g77 has been replaced with gfortran.
