Oups... we'll have to update that file, then.

This looks like your autotools aren't properly installed or your path is 
wrong.

Hmm... perhaps they changed the structure of their zips -- or your path 
is wrong.

Bad.

Hmmm... don't we have a --disable-doc or something like this to pass to 
configure ?
