Its failing on SDL. I tried running .autogen.sh in the directory, and this is what I got. I just made sure all the extra packages had been extracted to where they should be... including the update automake, autoconf and m4 tars.

Can't locate object method "path" via package "Request" (perhaps you forgot to load "Request"?) at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/C4che.pm line 69, <GEN1> line 111. Couldn't find autoconf, aborting On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 1:44 PM, Lenard Lindstrom <le...@telus.net> wrote: > Which package are you trying to build.
