Hi Richard,

Unfortunately I am not familiar with the build error you describe, but
I'll try to help anyway. Could you please give some additional info:
- Do you have a folder "testautomation" in your source tree?
- How did you get the source? Did you download a source package? If so,
  which one? Or did you download via SCM (Mercurial/SVN)?
- If you used a source-tarball, how did you unpack it?

Im not involved in the way source-tarballs are created (using SCM is
so simple now with mercurial), but there is a also "testautomation"
tarball, maybe you need to add that one? If that is the case, we should
indeed update the docs to reflect that.
Also I would be interested in the parts of the configure step that you
needed guesswork for and if we can make the instructions on that more
explicit/helpful.

Best Regards,

Bjoern Michaelsen
