this is on the sourceforge tracker, but I'll point to it here because it is fairly serious and I'm hoping someone who knows about this stuff will take a look at it. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1164933&group_id=13833&atid=113833 whilst I can compile fine on my system after running aclocal && automake, the same is not true of a debian woody system that compilation was attempted on.
