OK, I tried that :
doobrey[~/dist/balsa] export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/local/gnome/share/aclocal"
doobrey[~/dist/balsa] ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local/gnome
processing .
Running libtoolize...
You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
Running aclocal -I /usr/local/gnome/share/aclocal -I macros ...
aclocal: configure.in: 29: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library

... still no joy, so then I tried ...

doobrey[~/dist/balsa] cp /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 aclocal.m4
doobrey[~/dist/balsa] export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I . -I /usr/local/gnome/share/aclocal"
doobrey[~/dist/balsa] ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local/gnome
processing .
Running libtoolize...
Running aclocal -I . -I /usr/local/gnome/share/aclocal -I macros ...
aclocal: configure.in: 29: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library
...

On looking in /usr/local/gnome/share/aclocal I find only one file - libart.m4,
Is there a requirement that the rest of GNOME has been compiled under CVS?
I am currently operating from .98 compiles tarballs, so nothing in gnome has
come from CVS. Maybee that is my problem. If so, what do I have to do to generate
these files (I don't really want to get ALL of gnome from CVS)

Madman.
