Hi Shlomi,

This is with Ubuntu-19.1 and is being built as an unprivileged user.

Version 0.6.1 got me into libmypaint where it failed. Details below.

I have the latest automake and even built another copy of it into /usr/local. Besides, I am pretty sure 
automake was required for babl and gegl

Thanks for your troubles so far and hope you can solve this one.

I am testing that you have the tools required to build
libmypaint from git. This test is not foolproof.

checking for libtool >= 1.5 ... Major version might be too new (2.4.6)
checking for autoconf >= 2.62 ... yes (version 2.69)
checking for automake >= 1.13 ...
  You must have automake 1.13 or newer installed to compile libmypaint.
  Download the appropriate package for your distribution,
  or get the source tarball at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/automake/

./autogen.sh: 1: automake-1.13: not found
Major version might be too new (1.13)
checking for intltool >= 0.40.1 ... yes (version 0.51.0)

Please install/upgrade the missing tools and call me again.
