Please reply privately, unless you really think it's on-topic. Me, I'm not sure.
I trying to build a package using automake (aclocal). I have all the tools installed that I need--autotools, autotools-dev, libtool, etc After patching the package's configure script, I attempted to regenerate the build files with: aclocal -I m4/autoconfautomake and received the following two errors: configure.ac:87: warning: macro 'AM_PATH_MAD' not found in library configure.ac:89: warning: macro 'AM_PATH_LAME' not found in library I have spent over three hours scouring the net for information on these two macros and come up with nothing except one reference in aclocal.m4. If you or someone you know knows how this all works, please reply privately, with my thanks in advance to you, and to the list owner for allowing this message.
