Hi again!

That's probably an entry for README. You don't need to run these if you
use a tarball. All files are already prepared though.
Yes, I remember back when I was isntalling 0.5.4rc2 I was having exactly
these problems - the tarball had a bug that meant it couldn't compile under
obsd, but I could never get the cvs to work.
The error below are not caused by incorrect version of autoconf. The
marcros that are missing are provided by automake and libtoo. I have
libtool 1.5.6 and automake 1.8.4 on my system.
I have installed the packages available to obsd, but sadly they seem to be
lagging a ways behind your versions. I have contacted the guys
responsible for maintaining the packages, but got no response. :-(
Were any of the things cited in teh error message part of the new bits of
libtool?
Instructions provided by gnokii do not say to just run autoconf. First you
need to prepare all infrastructure for autoconf. Among other: get macros
provided by libtool. Please reread INSTALL file. You have all inctructions
to run given in Quickstart section. Or just use autogen.sh script provided
by gnokii.
That may be the case, but I seem to be too dense to figure them out.
Sorry for the lenght of thise post, but I will go into some details as to
what I have done.
I read the INSTALL file a few times. And even paid more attention to the
messages that these commands put out.
First thing I did was redownload and untar the tarball. I edited the
file as bozo's instructions (and the cvs log) indicated I should and ran
the installation commands again. I got the exact same error again. :-(

So, I switch over to the cvs, and follow the instructions given on the
website docs under the cvs button. After I run gettextize, it tells me I
need to get some config files from an ftp site, and also add a bunch of m4
files to my 'aclocal.m4' file. Problem is, I don't know where the heck
my aclocal.m4 file is. I run /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb and then search,
and I find many aclocal.m4 files, but none that look like *my*
aclocal.m4 file, if you know what I mean. In the end I just move on and
run the aclocal command, and Lo! there appears an aclocal.m4 file in my
gnokii directory. so I cat all those listed files into taht file, ftp the
two config files into the directory and run autoconf. In obsd3.5 this
doesn't work. need to run autoconf-2.59, which does seem to work. This
is further than I got earlier. :-)
I then run autoheader-2.59 and get a couple of warnings:
autoheader-2.59: WARNING: Using auxiliary files such as `acconfig.h',
`config.h.bot'
autoheader-2.59: WARNING: and `config.h.top', to define templates for

But I ignore them and sally forth with my ./configure, where I get some
errors after not very long:
