Hello list,

I am trying to have some fun with DVD encoding and it seems like I 
am having fun with everything else but DVD's.

I was working from an article in Linux Journal, Dec 2003.  I 
downloaded the mjpegtools and built/installed.  Received "malloc 
faliure" from mpeg2enc.  Searching the archive list turned up a 
thread in regard to a bug in glibc 2.2.5.  That I believe I am 
running here on Slackware 8.1 distro.  Recommendation was to 
download the CVS version and so I did that and it failed to build.  
The thread went on to discuss updating autoconf, automake, and 
libtool.  So I have also done that as well.  But it still reports 
the same error below.

./configure: line 1440: syntax error near unexpected token
      `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(mjpegtools,'
./configure: line 1440: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(mjpegtools,
      $MJPEG_VERSION)'

There are also numerous warnings and other errors reported from 
automake prior to this.  But it dosen't stop the process.  I can 
post all of the output but it is probably about a hundred lines.  
But the error above stops the configuration part.  The beginning of 
the output starts with the following,

bash-2.05a# ./autogen.sh
**Warning**: 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.

processing .
Running libtoolize...
You should add the contents of `/usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4'
    to `aclocal.m4'.
Running aclocal  ...
aclocal: configure.in: 174: macro `AM_PATH_GLIB' not found in
    library
aclocal: configure.in: 368: macro `AM_PATH_GTK' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 380: macro `AM_PATH_SDL' not found in library

I was not able to locate the file aclocal.m4 in the top directory, 
so I copied the libtool.m4 there instead, and it removed that 
beginning message, but the missing macro messages remained.

Perhaps someone can help identify what it is that I may still be 
missing to build properly.

Thank you,
James
