I'm getting this message when I try to build:

make -f Makefile.dist build
Removing old files.......................................... done!
Generating aclocal.m4 from configure.in.....................Makefile.dist:126 : recipe for target 'aclocal.m4' failed
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 127

Any ideas? I haven't found this in any of the other posts.

The output of the various subcommands are logged to Makefile.dist.dbg. So that should have more info about the issue. But off the top of my head, I think you're missing the aclocal executable. If you're building from svn, you need to make sure all the various parts of autotools are installed.

Second that. Sounds like missing packages.

Thanks for the quick replies :). I'm really green with linux and still trying to wrap my mind around everything. It's been at least 20 years since using Showeq.
