Error Generated by autoconf

[Justin Dearing]

If you google that error, you will see that automake is what makes
Makefile.am into Makefile.in. Autoreconf is a tool that calls autoconf,
automake and other parts of the buildchain.

You can try to run automake manually. You can also try to autoconf under
strace (you can install precompiled strace from yum) to see if that's
invoking automake.

Try to google the errors and read the documentation for GNU autotools if
you get more errors. autotools are a bit obtuse, but your not the first
person to get these errors and there are many answers already on the
internet.
