Hi, 

the PyGTK tutorial (page 274) read:

    Chapter 16. New Widgets in PyGTK 2.4 

    Quite a few new widgets and support objects were added in PyGTK
    2.4 including: " Action, RadioAction, ToggleAction .........

I'm using Debian (unstable) with (its) latest PyGTK

    ~> apt-cache show python2.3-gtk2 | grep Version
    Version: 2.2.0-3
    ~> 

OK, so Actions (and ToolItems) are not there.  So I get the CVS
sources and I'm trying compile them, but I get some errors.  I do not
know autogen (used to "apt-get install" or "./configure && make &&
sudo make install") so ....

    #> ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local

1) autogen looks for autoconf >= 2.53, founds 2.59 and complains !?!
2) autogen looks for automake >= 1.7, does not find the (installed)
   1.9.2 and complains !?!

    #> automake --version
    automake (GNU automake) 1.9.2

3) autogen complains about M4 macros ....
