Orca question re bug id=344190 and help with CVS

[Joanmarie Diggs <joanmarie diggs carroll org>]

Hi all.  Regarding bug id=344190
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344190

A patch was proposed and the bug closed as fixed. Because Evolution is
crashing regularly with Orca, I'd like to try the patch.  I'm guessing I
will need to use CVS to obtain it.  (Is that correct?) I'm pretty new to
CVS... But I like to live dangerously <grin> so I gave the following a
shot:

sudo cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous anoncvs gnome org:/cvs/gnome co
gtkhtml

That seemed to work.  Then I cd'ed into gtkhtml and tried:

sudo ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr

And that seemed to start out okay, but it ended with the following:

Checking for required M4 macros...
  gnome-compiler-flags.m4 not found
  libtool.m4 not found
  glib-gettext.m4 not found
  intltool.m4 not found
  pkg.m4 not found
Checking for forbidden M4 macros...
***Error***: some autoconf macros required to build gtkhtml
  were not found in your aclocal path, or some forbidden
  macros were found.  Perhaps you need to adjust your
  ACLOCAL_FLAGS?

Since I don't know what M4 macros and ACLOCAL_FLAGS are -- and am not
convinced I'm even on the right track regarding getting the patch in
question -- I figured I would stop and impose on you all for assistance.

Thank you very much in advance for your help!
