Please make sure that autoconf and automake are correctly installed.

I'm sure Autoconf and automake are installed, but they still don't work

How did you install them? What does type -a aclocal show?

[masatake]

@KazuakiM, I have two requests.

A. longer (complete?) reference log taken at Travis-ci

To inspect issues like this issue, we need a "reference log" that is recorded in the environment where ctags is successfully built. So we can compare the reference log and the log shown by the issue reporter.

At Travis-ci, you run a test for building ctags. Therefore, we can take a reference log at Travis-ci.
We can access the log at Travis-ci now. However, many lines of log recorded at Travis-ci looks omitted. So, we cannot use it
as a reference log now. Let's see an example:
(https://travis-ci.org/github/universal-ctags/homebrew-universal-ctags/jobs/705821620)

...
477 ==> ./autogen.sh
478 ==> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/universal-ctags/HEAD-b4574f0
...

We cannot see the output of autogen.sh and configure.

Is it possible to record and show all the output of commands as a log?
So I, a person who doesn't have a Machintosh, can study how ctags is built successfully within the Homebrew environment.

B. command line instruction for users to show all output of building

Please, look at the output in the initial comment of this issue:

...
==> ./autogen.sh
Last 15 lines from /Users/andy/Library/Logs/Homebrew/universal-ctags/01.autogen.sh:
...

The output is limited to the last 15 lines. For shooting troubles, in some cases, we need whole the log.
This is just an example. We need to let users who have troubles in building ctags take a more detailed log.

By comparing the reference log with the detailed log taken by the user, I expect we can analyze the issue even if we don't have a Machintosh.

brew install autoconf automake

Similar issue here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25151658/xcode-build-failure-aclocal-share-files-missing
How about running brew doctor and brew prune?

[zzlw]

[k-takata]

So, does brew doctor detect anything?
BTW, text log is enough. A screenshot is not so useful in this case.

@masatake
Hi, I add debug code for TravisCI, passed test.

@KazuakiM, thank you.
