Hi Stephan, There is no autogen.sh in the asciidoc package and after autoreconf -i ./configure still does not find an install-sh. The documents I pointed to in the link below state: " If you use AC_PROG_INSTALL, you must include either install-sh or install.sh in your distribution; otherwise configure produces an error message saying it can't find them—even if the system you're on has a good install program." Forcing requirements on the projects is what prompted the [expletive deleted] on my original post. Asciidoc is a Python program that really doesn't need much of autotools, but installing by the normal ./configure && make &&sudo make install recipe makes it more comfortable for users.
