**Error**: You must have `automake' installed to compile libgsf.

The macro appears to run 'automake --version'.  What does your
version say ?


automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p5

and I ran "automake --version" from the command line of the same shell that I
ran the "autogen.sh" from, so the paths are the same...  Though, if a new
shell is instantiated to run the autogen.sh, it would have the default paths.
But if I don't use "sh ./autogen.sh" and do "./autogen.sh" instead a new shell
shouldn't be launched.

Besides, automake is in /usr/bin...

I'm confused...



You appear to installing things within garnome. Garnome seems to install it's own copy of automake in garnome/bin. Why doesn't that automake show up for you?

I faintly recall to have run into similar problems with compiling some modules on the way to gnumeric (within debian+garnome). I try to recall the details.
