I'd like to help out, but I've never built software from a master before -- I 
guess it's about time I learned how.  I know I needed the package "make" (and 
installed that), but I'm not sure what other packages I might need.

I got the denemo-master.tar.gz from the repository and extracted it into a 
temp folder.  From the README.md file I did:   $ ./autogen.sh
and got the following error:
     ~/temp/denemo-master$ ./autogen.sh
       ./autogen.sh: 2: aclocal: not found

The folder aclocal is in /usr/share/

What should I do next?

Thanks.
