Hi

I am having problems compiling from CVS. I compiled glib and gtk+ OK but cannot
complile imlib or libIDL. I am using RedHat 5.1 with the latest patches.I am
installing to /opt/gnome and have updates my environment accordingly thus

I have installed automake and autoconf from ftp.gnu.org and am running utogen like this:-

./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gnome --with-gtk-prefix=/opt/gnome

The error is this

processing .
You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
aclocal: configure.in: 28: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' 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=/opt/gnome --with-gtk-prefix=/opt/gnome
loading cache ./config.cache
./configure: syntax error near unexpected token `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(libIDL,'
./configure: ./configure: line 521: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(libIDL, 0.5.3)'

Now type 'make' to compile libIDL.

Help !
