Trouble compiling gtkhtml from CVS, autogen.sh fails

[Zach Frey <zfrey bright net>]

Hi all,

This is no doubt a clueless newbie question, but here goes anyway ...

I am trying to compile gtkhtml out of CVS.  After doing the CVS
checkout, I understand that one is supposed to run the included
'autogen.sh', which automagically creates and runs the 'configure'
script.

Unfortunately, autogen.sh is failing.  I get the following output --

**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.

You should add the contents of `/usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal

I am compiling on Solaris 2.5.1 with automake 1.4 and autoconf 2.14
installed.

Can anybody clue me in on what I'm doing wrong here?


Thanks in advance,
