Can you post the output of: update-alternatives --display automake I have automake 1.10, and I suspect you might encounter problems with older versions. What ubuntu version do you have? I'm on Intrepid now, but looking at launchpad suggests that 1.10 was available since at least "Gutsy". https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/automake1.10 1.9 was available since "Dapper" https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/automake1.9 Have you got any pieces of a manually installed automake / autoconf left over? > I found aclocal and included it with > export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/share/aclocal" There should be no need for that, if aclocal is the version you have in /usr/bin, it should be pulling in stuff from /usr/share/aclocal anyway. Typically, there is no need to manually run aclocal if you're using "make reconfig" from the top level, or ./autogen.sh from the sub-directories. > # gattrib/autogen.sh > processing gattrib > autogen.sh running: intltoolize ... > autogen.sh running: aclocal -I /usr/share/aclocal ... > aclocal: macro `AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' required but not defined > autogen.sh running: autoheader ... > autoheader: error: AC_CONFIG_HEADERS not found in [5]configure.ac > autogen.sh running: automake ... > [6]configure.ac: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found. > [7]configure.ac: You should verify that [8]configure.ac invokes > AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, > [9]configure.ac: that aclocal.m4 is present in the top-level > directory, > [10]configure.ac: and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using > aclocal). > data/Makefile.am:39: ENABLE_UPDATE_DESKTOP_DATABASE does not appear in > AM_CONDITIONAL > data/Makefile.am:44: ENABLE_UPDATE_DESKTOP_DATABASE does not appear in > AM_CONDITIONAL > docs/Makefile.am:8: BUILDDOC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL > src/Makefile.am:4: CCISGCC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL > /usr/share/automake-1.7/am/[11]depend2.am: am__fastdepCC does not > appear in AM_CONDITIONAL > /usr/share/automake-1.7/am/[12]depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in > AM_CONDITIONAL > autogen.sh running: autoconf ... > # gschem/autogen.sh > autogen.sh creating [18]configure.ac > cat: [19]configure.ac.in: No such file or directory *** configure.ac.in should be part of the repository check out, something is wrong if that file is missing.
