How to Fix the "Autoconf failed for camomile.tar.gz" Error When Installing Liquidsoap

Issue Description: While installing Liquidsoap on your server, you might encounter the following error:

Installing cppo ...

This error occurs due to compatibility issues with the latest release of Camomile.

Solution:

To resolve this error, you need to replace the current Camomile version with an older, compatible version. Follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Navigate to the temporary directory:

cd /tmp

Step 2: Download the compatible version of Camomile:

wget https://ucartz.com/files/liquidsoap/camomile-0.8.5.tar.bz2

Step 3: Move and replace the existing Camomile file:

mv camomile-0.8.5.tar.bz2 /usr/local/src/liquidsoap/dlcompleted/camomile.tar.gz

Step 4: Reinstall Liquidsoap using the Centova Cast update command:

/usr/local/centovacast/sbin/update --add liquidsoap

After completing these steps, the installation should proceed successfully.
