Ugh.  I give :-)

I completely erase any sign of autoconf, automake, aclocal, and m4 from my 
system.  I then installed the following from RedHat 9's distribution:

autoconf-2.57-3.noarch.rpm
automake-1.6.3-5.noarch.rpm
gtk+-devel-1.2.10-25.i386.rpm
gtk2-devel-2.2.1-4.i386.rpm
m4-1.4.1-11.i386.rpm
SDL-devel-1.2.5-3.i386.rpm
After all of that I now get:


  configure.ac:71: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
        If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
        See the Autoconf documentation.
  configure.ac:108: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE

I've never had so much trouble getting something to install before.  Been using 
Linux for 5 or so years now, but this autoconf stuff seems to be really 
problematic from what I can tell :-)

I assume AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is because some other .m4 file (whatever those are) is 
missing (why can't autoconf tell me something is missing? :-) but the AC_DEFINE 
seems like it'd be something internal to autoconf so that one really bothers me.

I had tried autoconf-2.53-8 and it seemed to get further than 2.57, but I 
received a ton of errors later on and noticed a message saying I needed at 
least 2.57, but at least I didn't get this AC_DEFINE message :-)

All I'm really wanting to try is the new y4mdenoise stuff.  Sigh :-)

Well, I think I was in the wrong branch. I now re-fetched the code without specifying a branch. It looks like more modern stuff. Anyway, when I try to run autogen.sh with it I get:

configure.ac:107: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
     If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
     See the Autoconf documentation.
