Error:
[vagrant@localhost statsite-0.8.0]$ ./autogen.sh autoreconf: Entering directory .'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4
aclocal: couldn't open directory m4': No such file or directory autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1 [vagrant@localhost statsite-0.8.0]$

autogen.sh:
`#!/bin/sh

autoreconf -fiv
rm -Rf autom4te.cache`

I have already installed the dependencies:
[vagrant@localhost statsite-0.8.0]$ rpm -qa autoconf automake libtool autoconf-2.63-5.1.el6.noarch automake-1.11.1-4.el6.noarch libtool-2.2.6-15.5.el6.x86_64 [vagrant@localhost statsite-0.8.0]$

I am trying to build rpm but somehow there is an issue with the tar which i am trying to identify. Please let me know if you need more information.

It seems the m4 directory isn't created with your m4 version, try manually creating the 'm4' directory and the build system should be able to pick it up.

@johnkeates Thanks, I was able to fix the issue by running the bootstrap.sh script before calling autogen.sh in the rpmbuild SPEC file.

But the init script provided here is more like attached to terminal rather than detaching from the terminal.
https://github.com/statsite/statsite/blob/master/rpm/statsite.initscript

I was trying to fix the script but didn't made any progress, just like regular init.d script when you run them they just status like whether its started or failed but this script actually runs on terminal.

After i start the script i have to manually kill the process to return to terminal.
`root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/statsite start
Starting statsite: statsite[21347]: Starting statsite.
statsite[21347]: stdin is disabled
statsite[21347]: Listening on tcp ':::8125'
statsite[21347]: Listening on udp ':::8125'.

ERROR:statsite.graphitestore:Failed to connect!
^C
Session terminated, killing shell...
[root@localhost ~]# `

Can you help in making changes so that its more aligned to standard initd scripts.

I'm not familiar enough with RPM (yet) to help you with this, sorry. Maybe someone that worked on that part can help you, or if I find the time, I'll see to it's verification in the 0.8.1 release.
