OK, I did that, and now I still get this when running autogen in libIDL:


aclocal: configure.in: 28: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 33: macro `AM_PATH_GLIB' not found in library
autoconf: Undefined macros:
configure.in:12:AC_CPP_ACCEPT_IDL
configure.in:16:AC_CPP_PIPE_STDIN
Running ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --prefix=/usr/local

./configure: syntax error near unexpected token `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(libIDL,'
