Hi It works fine here, so I'm guessing you're missing a part of autotools or don't have a new enough version
Here's what I get: ./autogen.sh autoreconf-2.69: Entering directory `.' autoreconf-2.69: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf-2.69: running: aclocal --force -I m4 aclocal-1.16: warning: couldn't open directory 'm4': No such file or directory autoreconf-2.69: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf-2.69: running: libtoolize --copy --force libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, '.'. libtoolize: copying file './ltmain.sh' libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, 'm4'. libtoolize: copying file 'm4/libtool.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltoptions.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltsugar.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltversion.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'm4/lt~obsolete.m4' autoreconf-2.69: running: /usr/bin/autoconf-2.69 --force autoreconf-2.69: running: /usr/bin/autoheader-2.69 --force autoreconf-2.69: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing configure.ac:38: installing './compile' configure.ac:44: installing './config.guess' configure.ac:44: installing './config.sub' configure.ac:37: installing './install-sh' configure.ac:37: installing './missing' src/Makefile.am: installing './depcomp' autoreconf-2.69: Leaving directory `.'
