  To correct the AM_PATH_GLIB error, you have to put glib.m4 in a place
automake looks, which is either /usr/share/aclocal or
/usr/local/share/aclocal. On my system I couldn't get automake to look in
/usr/local/share/aclocal where it's installed by default, so I copied it
to /usr/share/aclocal. Not the greatest fix but it works. I had to do this
for gtk.m4 also.
  I get the AC_TRY_RUN warnings also, but everything still works.
  I've had that last error before, but I can't remember how I fixed it.
