1. There's no "configure".
2. If I run autogen.sh, it complains:

You must have automake 1.7.x installed to compile GLib.
Install the appropriate package for your distribution,
or get the source tarball at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/

% automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.9.5

I edited autogen.sh to use automake-1.9, and get the following messages:


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.

Now type 'make' to compile GLib.
% make
make  all-recursive

I ran configure as:
% ./configure --with-libiconv=gnu

Thanks for any help you can give,
