Re: [gnome-db]gnome-db CVS debs!

DISCLAIMER:  I'm not a developer,  just a documentation guy.  So my problems are probably the result of my own ignorance,  but I have read the documentation.

Do one is producing RPMs from the snapshots by chance?  GNOME-DB seems to have made big strides lately (escpecially with the inclusion of a default provider),  but I can't seem to get the CVS checkout to compile.  According to the readme file I need to change to libgda and do and autogen.sh there first,  but it gives me no joy:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~/work/projects/gnome-db/libgda $ ./autogen.sh
**Warning**: I am going to run `configure' with no arguments.
If you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the
`./autogen.sh' command line.

You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.

**Error**: aclocal failed. This may mean that you have not
installed all of the packages you need, or you may need to
set ACLOCAL_FLAGS to include "-I $prefix/share/aclocal"
for the prefix where you installed the packages whose
macros were not found

It would appear I'm missing whatever is supposed to create po/Makefile.in.in.  The XML packages installed on this system (2xCPU 2.4.3, mostly-RH7.0, Ximian GNOME 1.4) are:
libxml10-1.0.0-2
libxml-1.8.11-ximian.1
xml-i18n-tools-0.8.1-ximian.1
python-xmlrpc-1.4-1
libxml-devel-1.8.11-ximian.1
