While trying to compile PEAR for PHP on Mac OS X 10.1, it became clear that automake was not installed on my system. I grabbed automake-1.5 and gave it a shot and got the following errors (below). I'm not really that familiar with the details of Autoconf & Automake, and I thought this would be the best place to ask for help. I have been poking around in the configure script but the going is tedious and I haven't been able to figure out what is causing the errors.
Thanks in advance for any help.
