jhbuild failing - why?

["Rich Caloggero" <rjc MIT EDU>]

The following is generated when I run autogen.sh (either by hand or
implicitly by jhbuild) from the gnome-icon-theme directory. This happens
when I build other modules too, such as libxslt...  Anyone know what's going
on? I did a jhbuild bootstrap and let it download and build all the tools it
couldn't find.  What is this aclocal and aclocal_path?

Thanx in advance for any assistance...

Copying file po/Makefile.in.in

Please add the files
  codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
  progtest.m4
from the /usr/share/aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.
