Yes, its a problem with the patch to Glade 0.5.0.
(The patch updates configure.in, and aclocal.m4 'depends' on that,
so the Makefile tries to regenerate aclocal.m4. But you need all
the development stuff to do this.)

If you unpack Glade 0.5.0, apply the patch, and then do
'touch aclocal.m4' I think it should build OK.


Does anyone know of a general solution to this problem?
Or are patches useless when you're using autoconf/automake??
