Error `AM_PROG_AR' not found in library updating modsecurity

[jonium]

Hello,

I have a server with:
CentOS release 6.10 (Final)
DA 1.55
Custombuild 2.0.0 (rev: 1972)
Apache 2.4.37


Updating modsecurity from 2.9.2 to 2.9.3 I got this error:

How can I fix it?

Hello,

There were reports of segfaults with the default 2.9.3 version.
There was a patch applied and re-packed to the 2.9.3 version on files1.. doesn't look like that's the one being downloaded

Here's the live view:

[root@files1 custombuild]# ll modsecurity-2.9.3.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4333053 Dec 18 00:49 modsecurity-2.9.3.tar.gz
[root@files1 custombuild]# md5sum modsecurity-2.9.3.tar.gz

which shows a different bytes size on files1:
4333053

to the file being downloaded:
2322235

So please run:

./build update
./build modsecurity

to see if the new one downloads compiles.

John
