Stop in /home/users/j/jy/jyljyljyl/compile/metakit-2.4.9.3/builds.
Looks like libtool/autoconf madness.

I suggest:

        make distclean
        cd ../unix
        aclocal
        libtoolize -f -c
        autoconf
        cd ../builds
        ../unix/configure
        make
        make install
I'm sorely tempted to throw out everything related to autoconf,  
libtool, and even make.  Older versions of Metakit used to have the  
following build instructions:
	gcc -O2 -shared -I../include ../src/*.cpp -o libmk4.so
And I sure miss those times.  Things use to be *simple* (does anyone  
remember that concept?).
