Re: Compiling

 

Then I'm quite stumped. You should have package autoconf, automake,
autotools-dev, and libtool - I think that's all that's necessary.  The
correct output is below.  What distro do you have?

autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force
acinclude.m4:1: warning: underquoted definition of AX_CHECK_XMLTO
acinclude.m4:1:   run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
acinclude.m4:1:   or see
http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: running: libtoolize --install --force
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'.
libtoolize: linking file `./config.guess'
libtoolize: linking file `./config.sub'
libtoolize: linking file `./install-sh'
libtoolize: linking file `./ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.ac and
libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree.
libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.
