> [no idea what that means - I never used autoconf before ,-{ ] It means that autoconf could not find the automake or libtool or aclocal macros. AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is defined in init.m4 and that is found in a 'aclocal' directory. Look in /usr/share _and_ /usr/local/share You may need to have symlinks like these: lrwxrwxr-x 1 root wheel 11 Dec 24 09:06 aclocal -> aclocal-1.8 drwxr-xr-x 2 sms wheel 2048 Jan 12 15:31 aclocal-1.8 (1.8 is the automake version, not the autoconf version!) Make similar symlinks for the version of automake that you have. > CVS-version of mjpegtools was 1.7.0. What version of automake do you have installed (automake --version)? Then make the 'aclocal' symlinks mentioned above - there should be some progress (before the next problem ;)).
