Build trouble with Makefile.in

[dwierenga]

I"m using CentOS 5.6. Following the directions in docs/installation.md, I ran ./autogen.sh from the base directory. It fails with:

config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: Makefile.in

[jacksonh]

Do you have automake installed?

[dwierenga]

I do:

$which automake
/usr/bin/automake
$automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.9.6

ok, i'm probably going to have to setup a centos VM to fix this....hopefully I can get that done this weekend.

[dwierenga]

That'd be fantastic, I appreciate it!

Did you have a chance to work on this?

Same problem here. Would be very interested to learn if you had a chance to look at this ?

I'd like to report that i have the same problem on Ubuntu natty. I have the automake installed.

Can you post the full autogen log?

First I run ./configure which fails because the linux system does have have dmcs. https://gist.github.com/1223300

Then I replace dmcs with gmcs (i may be very wrong here.. but this is what I tried...)..
the configure file and the output (which showed "makefile.in" missing error) is here: https://gist.github.com/1223305
